FSU football: 5 players from 2018 class who need to shine in 2021
By Kelvin Hunt
Jordan Young
Much of what I wrote for Keyshawn Helton can be inserted for Jordan Young. The “Abusement Park” has been closed for much of Young’s career in Tallahassee.
He has 11 receptions for 146 yards and no touchdowns in his first two seasons after redshirting in 2018.
Young has been the epitome of FSU wide receivers over the past few years. A ton of talent but not being able to get that talent to translate into production on the field for whatever reason.
Admittedly, some of the blame was FSU’s lack of quality play at the quarterback position.
That shouldn’t be an excuse in 2021 with McKenzie Milton in the fold and Jordan Travis with a full year to work on his passing game.
Young will o into the 2021 season as one of the oldest wide receivers on the roster and a shot to prove himself.
As I mentioned with Helton, there will be a list of young receivers chomping at the bit for their shot to make something happen.
Malik McClain and Joshua Burrell were early enrollees, and Kansas transfer Andrew Parchment is already in Tallahassee catching passes at practice.
The Noles need Young to step his game up if the offense expects to improve and the team to contend for more wins in 2021.
