Young, an Imhotep Institute (Philadelphia) star who committed to the Nittany Lions' class of 2018 over the summer, has been on the minds of a number of recruits who are on the program's radar as well as a couple of current Penn State players.
The charges are related to an incident on July 30 at a Wawa in South Philadelphia, where Young, armed with a black revolver and aided by his brother, is accused of robbing with store -- taking $13,600 from the store's safe.
Young was taken into police custody on Friday and did not play in his high school's state playoff game on Friday night.
Along with the news Friday that Penn State promoted tight ends coach and passing game coordinator Ricky Rahne to offensive coordinator, the Nittany Lions also announced other changes within the coaching staff.
For the second consecutive year, Jesse James will play #FTK as part of the NFL's "My Cause, My Cleats" initiative.
Penn State's passing game coordinator and tight ends coach Ricky Rahne will reportedly replace Joe Moorhead as the new offensive coordinator
