Young Transfer Makes Immediate Impact for Colonels
Covington Catholic Colonels linebacker Jalen Young has wasted no time making a name for himself in the 5A landscape. In his first season with the Colonels, Young recorded 12 tackles for loss, a feat that caught the attention of scouts and opponents alike. The Class of 2026 transfer, who moved from a 6A program in Indiana, has seamlessly integrated into the Colonels' defense. Young's ability to read and react to plays has allowed him to consistently be around the ball, earning him a starting role alongside other talented linebackers. As the Colonels prepare for the upcoming season, Young will be counted on to continue his impressive play. Scouts are watching to see if he can maintain his level of production, particularly in the face of more physical 5A defenses. With his size, speed, and agility, Young has the potential to be a dominant force in the region, and his performance will be closely monitored throughout the season.
