From Hall of Honor press release dated July 6, 2009:

Tom Young was the captain and in many ways the heart and soul of Wittenberg's 1969 national championship football squad. An offensive guard, Young won the Golden Helmet award that year for his "toughness and leadership by example," according to National College Football Hall of Fame Coach Dave Maurer. The Tigers posted a phenomenal 32-4 overall record during Young's collegiate career, including a pair of OAC championships. After the season, Young earned second-team "Little All-America" honors from the Associated Press, in addition to first-team Lutheran All-America honors and second-team All-OAC honors. A native of Clairton, Pa., Young currently resides in Jupiter, Fla., with his wife of 38 years, Beverly (Bates), class of 1971, a former Tiger cheerleader.
