Elk River Elks CB Trevon Young Commits to Houston Cougars
Trevon Young, a 6-foot-0, 175-pound cornerback from the Class of 2026, has committed to the University of Houston Cougars. Young, a standout defensive back for the Elk River Elks, chose the Cougars over other Power Five offers. The Cougars' aggressive 3-4 scheme and emphasis on press coverage align with Young's playing style, and he is expected to compete for a starting spot immediately. Young cited the Cougars' strong academic programs and resources as a major factor in his decision. He had previously decommitted from the University of Minnesota in April, but after re-evaluating his options, he felt Houston was the best fit for his athletic and academic goals. Young is considered one of the top cornerbacks in the state of Minnesota and is expected to be a key contributor to the Cougars' secondary in the future.
