Aaron Young was named IWU's Offensive Coordinator in February of 2023. He works with the Titan quarterbacks and will enter his first season on Norm Eash's staff in 2023.

Young began his coaching career at Indiana State in 2018, serving as the assistant quarterbacks coach. He was promoted to full-time quarterbacks coach as well as academic and community service liaison in 2019. In 2020 he moved to coaching running backs and specialists before adding recruiting coordinator to his responsibilities in 2022.

During his time with the Sycamores, Young has coached All-Missouri Valley Football Conference picks Justin Dinka (running back) and Ryan Boyle (QB). Boyle was also voted the league’s Newcomer of the Year in 2018 under the mentorship of Young. Under his guidance, ISU’s quarterbacks set the program record in single season completion percentage in back-to-back seasons, while also finishing the 2018 and 2019 seasons second in FCS for fewest INTs thrown.

A native of Sacramento, Calif., he earned a degree in psychology from the University of Wyoming, where he played quarterback for the Cowboys. Young appeared in 11 games for Wyoming, eventually backing up NFL Pro-Bowler Josh Allen. Young then transferred to Indiana State, where he earned his masters degree in physical education with an emphasis in coaching in 2018.

Young and his wife, Brooke, have one daughter Hilton.
