"It’s something that I thought about for a long time," Young told the Associated Press. "I was fighting it a little bit until I decided to see if it would be a good fit. Notre Dame was a great experience and I learned a lot."

Young played for the Irish from 1990-93. He had 176 tackles, 22 1/2 tackles for loss and 18 sacks at Notre Dame.

He played in the NFL for 14 seasons, reaching the Pro Bowl four times as a mainstay on the San Francisco 49ers defensive line.
