State's Young picked 123 in NFL Draft
Defensive tackle Cameron Young heard his name called on Saturday in the fourth round as the No. 123 selection overall as the Seattle Seahawks brought him on board. Young joins former teammate Charles Cross who is on the other side of the line at offensive tackle and started every game as a rookie last year after being taken in the first round.
It’s a story that began with Young being bound for junior college before MSU coach Joe Moorhead and his staff came through at the late minute with an offer in 2018. Young was slated to play for Gulf Coast Community College after flying under the radar, but State signed him on signing day when the offer opened up.
