Former Notre Dame Receiver Transfers to Cincinnati

Michael Young will have two years of eligibility remaining when he starts play with the Cincinnati Bearcats football team this fall.

Graduate transfer Michael Young has officially left the Notre Dame football program and found a new home at Brian Kelly’s previous stop, Cincinnati.

Young announced the decision on Easter Sunday and will have two years of eligibility remaining for Luke Fickell and the Cincinnati Bearcats.

Part of the selling point to Young was that the man that recruited him to Notre Dame is now the Bearcats offensive coordinator, Mike Denbrock.  Young said of Denbrock to 247Sports:

Also, can’t forget to mention the connection that I had with coach Mike Denbrock. From recruiting me to Notre Dame, to now being my offensive coordinator at Cincinnati, it means everything. The relationship we’ve built from high school up until now played a significant factor in my decision.”

In three seasons at Notre Dame, the former top-50 receiver nationally as a recruit played in 27 games and pulled down 17 receptions for 177 yards and two touchdowns.
