Terrible news to share from Ohio as a former Kentucky running back target Kyree Young has reportedly been killed in a shooting.

That’s being reported by Northeast Ohio HS Sports.

Young was a three-star running back from Ohio in the 2021 recruiting cycle. 247Sports Composite Rankings had Young rated as the No. 51 running back in the country in his class.

He was from Akron, Ohio.

While Northeast Ohio HS Sports lists Young as a former commit, the running back never publicly announced a commitment to the Wildcats.

He did hold scholarship offers from Alabama, Tennessee and LSU.

Here is the report from Northeast Ohio HS Sports:

Kentucky assistant coach Vince Marrow offered his condolences following the news.
