After a dominant effort against Penn State, Chase Young has, for the second time this season, been awarded the Walter Camp defensive player of the week.

It was a terrific performance from the potential top-three pick. He put together a career-high nine tackles which included four tackles-for-losses. Young also had a game-changing three sacks and two forced fumbles.

It felt like every time either Penn State quarterback dropped back he was being harassed by the Bronko Nagurski Trophy finalist. Young is easily the best defender in the nation.

On Saturday, in the team’s 28-17 victory, Young also set the university’s single-season sack record, propelling his season total to 16.5. According to a released statement from Ohio State, that totals is the “most sacks by a Big Ten player in 21 years.”

Young is nearing two sacks per game and had could’ve neared the D-1 single-season record had he not been suspended two games. Since 2005, the record is 20 by Elvis Dumervil. Bleacher Report reported back in 2013 that the single-season sack record is 24 set by Terrell Suggs.

Without those suspensions, Young could’ve gotten close to that record. The 6-foot-5, 265-pound defensive end has 38 tackles, almost 20 of which have been for a loss, this season.
