Josh Christian-Young is in his fourth overall season with the Army West Point football program and second as an assistant coach.Â
During his first season as an assistant, Christian-Young worked with the defensive backs but shifted in 2017 to work with the cornerbacks.
In 2017 with help from Christian-Young, Army captured the Commander in Chief’s Trophy for the first time since 1996 and won 10 games for only the second time in academy history.Â
Christian-Young helped the 2017 Black Knight defense rank 14th in the nation in pass defense. Cornerbacks Elijah Riley and Jaylon McClinton each had an interception on the season, while McClinton tallied 44 total tackles and Riley, who missed a portion of the season ended with 20 stops.
