"It was the offer I was looking for," Young told Rivals.com. "I feel like Iowa is known for having a hard-nosed, blue-collar type of team and that's who I want to play for. They just want to go to work and play physical and play hard. They're a Big Ten team and they're going to be contending and playing in big bowl games each year.
"Iowa has shown me so much love and the coaches have been so genuine. There were times when I was having problems, even outside of football, and I was able to call the coaches there and talk to them about it. I really respect that."
Notables: Young was a first-team all-conference and offensive player of the year selection in his league after rushing for 1,223 yards and 15 touchdowns as a junior.
