The Seattle Seahawks have moved on from one of their recent draft choices.
One day out from opening night of the 2025 NFL Draft, the Seahawks waived nose tackle Cameron Young after two seasons. Young was chosen in the fourth round back in 2023 out of Mississippi State.
As a rookie, Young played in 16 of 17 games and had 205 defensive snaps, recording 18 tackles, a QB hit, and a pass defensed. Injuries limited Young to only one game in 2024, with two defensive snaps and one on special teams. He started the season on injured reserve with a knee issue and was placed back on IR in November.
Young is the first draft pick from the Seahawks’ 2023 class to be let go.
Seattle’s current nose tackle depth officially consists of reserve/future signing Brandon Pili and veteran Jarran Reed, but Reed isn’t a true nose tackle and Pili is almost certainly going to be battling just to be on the roster. Expect the Seahawks to make a push to get a nose tackle in the draft this year… whether that means Michigan’s Kenneth Grant in Round 1 or someone else in the later rounds remains to be seen.
