CHAMPAIGN - Illinois sophomore Donovonn Young has found some new
confidence this fall. The talented tailback got some big experience
last year as a freshman, and that could mean big things for Young who
was one of the best running backs in the state of Texas coming out of
high school.
Last year Young ran for 451 yards and six touchdowns. He played in 12 of the 13 games and was named the team's Rookie of the Year. This season, with Jason Ford gone, Young should see a lot more of the workload, and he is ready for it.
