Holy Freakin Crap !!

This guy is the Hulk

Yeah, but can he play football?
He sat out last year. Still, BYU officials decided big Scott Young would be one of two players to represent the Cougars at the Mountain West Conference meetings in Las Vegas more than a week ago.
Why? Well, he's a senior on a young offense. But perhaps equally so, he fills out a T-shirt like Hellboy or the Incredible Hulk. Young is a specimen. And if Adonis looks counted for something in a preseason show, why not trot out Atlas Junior.
Young, a former Dixie State College All-American defensive tackle, played one season as at that position for the Cougars, then switched to offensive guard, sitting out 2003 to learn that position.
Young is the strongest man on BYU's football team. By research in Las Vegas, he is the strongest football player in the Mountain West Conference.
But can he play football as a pass protector for Gary Crowton in 2004, his last hurrah?
The 6-foot-5, 312-pound Young opened a lot of eyes this year when he benched 530 pounds. He can clean 378 pounds. The clean is a full-body lift. You bend down and pick up the bar with weights and fling it up, catching it about chest to head level and hoist it over your head.
"Scott could probably clean over 400 pounds if he improved his technique," BYU assistant conditioning coach Justin McClure said. "But he's only been doing that lift for two years."
McClure believes there are only a handful of college football players who can bench over 500 pounds. "Scott is definitely one of the strongest in the country, no doubt."
For the second-straight year, Young is by far BYU's strongest man.
Young took the NFL 225-pound lift up and over his head 53 times.
That is freaksville. I cannot find a record of an NFL Combine participant who has gone over 50 repetitions.

Rest of the Article...


Reflecting on the MWC meetings and Young, Rich Bircumshaw ? the voice of the Colorado State Rams and a Judge Memorial graduate ? told KSL's Bill Riley: "By the way, Young may have the biggest neck in the hemisphere. That dude is huge. I saw him and thought to myself, 'Whoa, that guy is about six of me.' "
With Young posting those kind of numbers, the modern day inquisitor thrown at the man is he must be taking something ? give the guy a blood or urine test.
Well, they have, according to Young.
The NCAA mandates random drug testing of athletes. Of more than 100 football players on the Cougar team, they grab six or seven at a time and test them. "I got tested four straight times, right in a row," Young said. "What are the random chances of that?"
It would appear Young is clean. His strength comes by genetics and a bunch of hard work. Greg Croshaw at Dixie said Young was the strongest football player he'd ever coached. And that was three years ago before BYU conditioning coach Jay Omer tackled him. Young lifts two and a half hours a day in the Cougar program. That's roughly twice the average of his teammates.
His mother said Scott is known to work out six hours a day.
Here is a quick informal survey of the MWC's strongest men and how Young stacks up: At Wyoming, defensive tackle Dusty Hoffschneiter, a 5-10, 250-pound junior from Littleton, Colo., has posted a 465-pound bench and did 42 reps of 225.
At the Air Force Academy, nose tackle Russ Mitscherling, a 6-2, 260-pound junior from Victoria, Texas, leads the Falcons with a 440 bench.
At Colorado State, the man is defensive lineman Patrick Goodpaster, 6-3, 275, senior from Carson, Calif. His top bench is 440 pounds.
The Rams have another defensive lineman named Blake Smith, a 6-2, 269-pound freshman from Tulsa, Okla., who teammates say can lift 460. Last year's stud defensive tackle, Bryan Save, did the NFL 225-pound lift 44 times ? tying what they believed was the NFL record.
New Mexico coach Rocky Long, however, flabbergasted over Young's numbers, said he understood the NFL reps record to be 48. "Wow, that's incredible . . . 53?" Long said.
Long's top Lobo lifter is offensive lineman Claude Terrell, 6-3, 330, a senior from LaMarque, Texas. He benches 465.
At UNLV, sophomore defensive tackle Howie Fuimaono (6-0, 325) from Chula Vista, Calif., is the team leader with a maximum bench of 435.
He does 29 reps on the 225 bar.
At Utah, the strongest Utes are both defensive linemen. Sione Pouha benches 475 while Steve Fifita's maximum press is 460.
I was unable to secure information from San Diego State players.
Young turned 23 last week. He has always been strong. Same with his parents. Diane and Robert Young, a Salt Lake City police officer, are both very good athletes with known strength. His lineage is a mixture of Scottish, German and Swedish. His great-great grandfather, pioneer John Scott on his mother's side, was 7 feet tall, and his name is engraved on the "This is the Place Monument" in Emigration Canyon.
"Scott was blessed with a lot of ability," Diane said. "But he does work awfully hard, and he's driven."
Young's strength doesn't come with an enormous big appetite.
In Las Vegas, BYU sports information director Jeff Reynolds accompanied Young. At the final day luncheon, Reynolds sat with Young and they went after a buffet laced with medallion steaks. "I pounded seven of them, and Scott ate only six."
Reynolds asked Young to get his seventh or eighth.
"No way man, I'm completely full."
Young will be a key cog on Gary Crowton's offensive line that is filled with young players with little experience.
He's a strong man.
But can he do football?
"I hope so ? it's been a goal his entire life," Diane said.
