To come home and to be able to do something special while being close to my family is something I couldn’t pass up.”
During his junior year at Charlotte, Young racked up accolades including

“We are thrilled to welcome Jahmir home!,” said Willard. “He has been one of the most dynamic players in the country over the last few years. We are excited to welcome him to our family. He is a terrific scorer with a great basketball IQ. He’s a leader on the court who will be a major addition for us this coming season. It means a lot that he’s coming home after a great career at DeMatha and with Team Takeover.”
