In April, the Seattle Seahawks selected former Lenoir-Rhyne wideout Dareke Young with the No.233 pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. Here are four things to know about the Seahawk’s late-round gem.
Former NFL defensive back and CBS analyst Charles Davis sat down with NFL Network’s Path To The Draft team in April to discuss sleeper wideouts in the 2022 NFL Draft. One of the three discussed was Young.
Where did Dareke Young go to high school?
Darke went to Middle Creek High School in Apex, NC from 2014 to 2017. In high school, he had 29 catches, 502 yards, and 5 touchdowns and only had three losses in his career while also earning Academic All-Conference honors.
Like many gifted athletes, Dareke Young grew up playing multiple sports at a high level. Young starred on the football field at Middle Creek High in Apex, NC, losing just three games as a wideout for the nationally-ranked Mustangs. But Young also shined on the track in high school. In 2020, Young discussed his athletic background with NFLDraftBlitz writer Ed Hunt.
