Darriob Henry-Young...

In a 3-4 format DEs are often bigger closer to DTs as the 3 DL clog the space between the offensive tackles and force the offensive wide. UK will line up with 900 lbs of RS SOPH Dls next year backed up by veteran lbs with multiple younger prospects for depth. The UK front 7 will be ready for the rematches against Tenn and MSU. The front 7 worked through injuries nicely and hopefully will stay healthy next year. Ohio State loaded up on DEs this year. Good opportunity for Darrion to get into the rotation and fill out the two deep.
 
Could be....but it's hard to start as a Jack then grow to a DE then grow to a DT. He started at 6'4 227 lbs. He's up to 275 which is great for DE but needs a bit more to play DT IMO. Ox is over 300 lbs and Hoskins was over 300 lbs at DT last year.

Besides, Ox has that locked up for a few years and Analee isn't bigger than Saunders or Dinkins who can play DT down the road if they grow into those spots.
True but a lot can happen before our first start of the season ! I don't want to finish that thought and Jinx anything
 
Most of the better teams DL are not just huge monsters like Davis from GA. Just stout and can move. Maybe Young is quick. Does look like he needs more strength. Just from pictures looks more like an OLB. He could probably put on 20 pounds of muscle and be fine at DE if he can move.
