Across 66 matches Young has built a profile defined by defensive consistency, averaging nearly seven tackles per outing with single-game peaks of 24 that underline his capacity to carry a significant workload in tight contests. His carrying numbers are steady rather than explosive, but the volume across over 3 400 minutes of action points to a lock who is trusted to stay involved throughout a match rather than arrive in bursts. Five tries over that span add a threat at the breakdown and from driving mauls that opponents cannot entirely discount.
