Notre Dame's Bryce Young Is Fine Tuning The Details To Become An Elite Pass Rusher
Bryce Young is honing his craft, targeting consistent dominance and explosive plays. Get ready for this defensive force to emerge.
Notre Dame returns one of the most underrated edge duos in the country. On one side, you have Boubacar Traore who many have tabbed a breakout candidate nationally. Traore is one of the many players on the Fighting Irish roster with high NFL upside and has the potential to be the first defensive end taken in the first round from South Bend since 1997.
The other breakout candidate who's been putting in the work this offseason has been Bryce Young who's also looking to emerge onto the national stage. The 6-6, 260-pound North Carolina native didn't wait long to come onto the scene. Young played 374 snaps as a true freshman and played in meaningful minutes throughout the entire playoffs in 2024.
Last season, Young played 314 snaps throughout the regular season and looks to solidify his starting position during the offseason. He's been putting in the work to be a fellow breakout candidate along with Traore. "Like everybody goes through, you go through your process, figure out what works for you and what doesn’t work for you," Young shared.
"I’m at a great spot right now. My strength numbers have improved while I’m leaning down and putting on more muscle. So I feel like I’m in a great spot.
