IRVING, Texas -- Junior second baseman Jared Young has been named to the InTouch Credit Union 2017 Conference USA Baseball All-Academic Team, the league office announced on Monday.
Young, a native of Prince George, Canada, holds a 3.78 GPA in Sport Management. He was one of two Old Dominion baseball players to earn the C-USA Commissioner's Academic Medal and one of just 39 ODU student-athletes to earn the honor.
A transfer from Connor State Community College in Oklahoma, Young led the Monarchs in average (.374), home runs (7), on-base percentage (.448) and slugging (.589) during the regular season. In league games, Young hit a scorching .433, which was 20 points higher than any other player in the conference.
A two-time C-USA Hitter of the Week and one-time National Player of the Week, Young ranked in top 10 in eight different offensive categories during regular-season league play.
Young and Old Dominion begin the 2017 The First, A National Banking Association, Conference USA Baseball Championship at MGM Park in Biloxi, Mississippi, on Wednesday. The second-seeded Monarchs take on seventh-seeded FIU at 1:30 p.m. ET on ESPN3 and STAR 1310. For more information on the Conference USA Baseball Tournament, visit the Tournament Central page.
