Marcell Young (born September 2, 1987) is a professional Canadian football defensive back for the Edmonton Eskimos of the Canadian Football League. He played college football at Jackson State University.

College career

Young played college football at Hinds Community College for two years from 2006 to 2007.[1][2] In 2008, he transferred to Jackson State University, where he played for the Jackson State Tigers for two years. Young received significant playing time in his first year as a result of a season-ending broken collarbone to starting cornerback Jeremy Pierce.[3] Over two years at Jackson State, Young achieved 48 tackles, five pass deflections, two interceptions, one sack, and one fumble recovery.[2]

Professional career

In 2010, Young signed with the New Orleans Saints of the National Football League as an undrafted free agent. On July 22, he was waived by the Saints before the start of the regular season.[1][4]

Young signed with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League in 2011. In his first season with the Tiger-Cats, he started all 18 games and recorded 51 total tackles.[5] His second season was limited to only five games after he broke his hand during Week 2, which resulted in him being placed on the nine-game injured list.[2]

On February 15, 2013, Young signed with the Edmonton Eskimos. He started in 17 games in his first season with the Eskimos and 15 games in his 2014 season, recording 43 tackles in each season. He started in two post-season games in 2014. He was resigned on December 12, 2014 to a new contract.[2]
