Chris Young is in his sixth season coaching the wide receivers for the Raiders.

He came to Colgate from the University at Albany where he worked with the Great Danes tackles and tight ends.  Prior to Albany, Young served on the Canisius College staff where he served as wide receiver coach for the 2002 season.  He worked five years in the financial industry before joining the Canisius staff.

In 2004, he saw both of Colgate’s starting wide receivers - Luke Graham and DeWayne Long - earn first team all-Patriot League honors.  Graham also won all-league honors in 2002 under Young’s tutelage, while Long was all-league in 2005 and Erik Burke the last two seasons.

Young was a three-year letterwinner for the Colgate Raiders while earning first team all-Patriot League honors in his senior season at tight end.  He was a linebacker his first three seasons with the Raiders.
