So where would you expect one of the most prolific Texas high school quarterbacks to go to college? Perhaps a college that throws the ball more than any other offense in the nation? A college that has produced two back to back 5000 plus yard seasons passing? Maybe a college that plays in the Big 12? If you guessed Texas Tech, you’re right. For Denton Ryan quarterback, Scotty Young, hitting the ground running in the wide-open Tech offense should pose few obstacles. In his junior season for the Ryan Raiders (4A) Young passed for an astounding 4,495 yards and 65 TD’s collectively resulting in one of the best seasons held by a QB in state history. His senior year should produce the same result. Coming off of a 9-4 season in 2008 and making the state finals, Denton Ryan returns four starters on offense and six on defense. Although the Raiders may appear thin on the offensive side of the ball, they do possesses such weapons as Garrett Gramling (committed to A&M) on the offensive line and go to wide receiver, Bud Sasser. Losing seven offensive starters will definitely pose it’s challenges for Young, but the experience will help him to become a more well developed leader before heading off to Texas Tech next fall.
