The QB has rightfully earned his spot in the Hall of Fame after leading Mack Brown's 2005 team to the program's fourth National Championship in a historic upset over USC in the 2006 Rose Bowl.

The Longhorns' Cinderella 2005 season would not have happened without Young's contributions, which included leading one of the most prolific offenses in College Football setting a NCAA record with 652 points.

Young's 2005 season performance earned him three national honors—Manning Award, Davey O'Brien Award and Maxwell Award—and became the first player in NCAA history to throw for 3,000 yards and rush for 1,000 yards in one season.

With the induction, Young adds to the lengthy list of former Texas football players to earn the Hall of Fame recognition, including Earl Campbell, Ricky Williams and Mack Brown.

Young joins three former Longhorns as a member of the Texas Sports Hall of Fame Class of 2018, including two-sport athlete Nell Fortner, women's basketball player Cathy Self-Morgan and swimmer Jill Sterkel. The group will be honored April 7 at the Waco Convention Center.
