QB Ricardo Young, 6-1, 170, Washington (D.C.) H.D. Woodson

ASSETS: Young has a strong arm, is very accurate and shows good footwork getting into his drops. He has a good delivery and gets the football out of his hands in a timely manner.
AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT: He needs to add a lot of size and strength to be durable at the next level and he can sometimes aim the ball rather than just cut loose and throw it. He also tends to throw behind receivers at times when he doesn't step into his throw properly.
WHAT WAS MOST IMPRESSIVE AT CAMP: Young was the guy everyone seemed to want throwing them the football and his accuracy was impressive. He showed very good touch on longer passes and good zip on the intermediate routes. He also didn't wear down despite throwing over 100 passes.
CONCLUSION: His size is a question mark at the next level but not his ability. If he were a couple of inches taller and 20 pounds heavier, he'd have 30 offers. Can he hold up to the punishment in college? Time will tell, but he has that swagger and confidence that makes you think he can.

I'll save UB the trouble:

Updating this thread (on the PSU site) is a waste of time.
