“After heavy consideration and giving over two decades to the game of football, I have made a personal decision to resign from my position at the University of Florida in order to pursue more time with my family.” Young said.

Young, a father of six, played 14 seasons in the NFL with the San Francisco 49ers, with whom he was a four-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle.

“I am humbled by and grateful for the opportunity I have had to positively influence the hardworking student-athletes and young men whom I will surely miss,” Young said. “However, I have come to the realization that it is time to invest more in my family during this fleeting season in life.”

Young spent time as a coach at Notre Dame and San Jose State before joining Will Muschamp’s staff in 2011.
