Personal: Born September 20, 1984 in Pontiac, Michigan... He is the son of Mark and Belinda Young and has three siblings... He is majoring in physical education and plans to graduate in May 2006... His hobbies include playing sports, hanging with friends, and he's also a pit bull enthusiast.
Coach Ogilvie’s Comments: Mark is the best Team Player that I have ever been around. He has a great desire for the Team to succeed. What makes that even better is that he understands his role as a reliever and will always give you his best effort when called on to get some outs. He was an All-Conference selection his freshman year at MMC with a record of 7-0. He's struggled the past two seasons, but the coaching staff believes he can come in and get the job done. Look for Mark to have an improved Senior Season and if he does, it will be a huge boost for the RedHawks."
