  • St. Louis Park — Jordan Young: This senior defensive back/wide receiver can get it done on both sides of the field. On defense, Young already has 12 tackles and one interception, which he returned 90 yards for a touchdown. On offense, Young is averaging four catches a game and has already found the end zone once.
