Ohio State fans have been extremely lucky to watch Kyle Young do Kyle Young things
™ for the past four seasons, and luckily for us, Young’s decided to give it one more go-round in the scarlet and gray. Young announced today that he plans on utilizing the NCAA’s bonus year of eligibility so he can return to the Ohio State basketball program for a fifth season.
Young has missed more than 20 games during his four years at Ohio State due to various injuries. As a sophomore, he missed several weeks with a stress fracture in his leg. As a junior, he missed multiple games after underdoing an emergency appendectomy just hours after Ohio State’s 67-59 loss to West Virginia (he still pulled down 11 rebounds in 22 minutes while his appendix was ready to burst). This past season, he sustained two concussions in a matter of four weeks, causing him to miss a few regular season games as well as two games in the Big Ten Tournament and Ohio State’s NCAA Tournament loss to Oral Roberts.
