DeShawn Young: Red Devils' First Power 4 Offer

A Class of 2027 standout, Young has become the first player from the program to earn a Power 4 offer, joining the likes of top-ranked Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, and Tennessee. The 6-foot-2, 170-pound specialist has been a key contributor to the Red Devils' 7A team, demonstrating his ability to make clutch kicks in high-pressure situations. With his strong leg and accurate placement, Young has the potential to be a game-changer for Central-Phenix City this season.
