Steelers Depot releases scouting reports on Young and World for 2026 NFL draft

Steelers Depot published detailed scouting reports on Georgia wide receiver Colbie Young and Oregon offensive tackle Isaiah World as part of its coverage leading to the 2026 NFL Draft. The profiles outline their physical traits, college performances, injuries, and Day 3 draft projections. Both players bring size and potential but face concerns over injuries and technique.

Steelers Depot's scouting series for the 2026 NFL Draft features Georgia senior wide receiver Colbie Young, measured at 6046, 218 pounds. Strengths include good size for contested catches, suddenness on routes, physicality through contact, and special teams ability as a punt gunner. Weaknesses noted are a limited route tree, concerns with long speed and durability, plus a 2024 arrest on misdemeanor battery and assault charges against an unborn child, reduced to probation, a $500 fine, and a family violence program after the accuser recanted. In 2025, Young caught 26 passes for 358 yards and one touchdown in eight games, missing time with a fractured leg against Ole Miss on October 18 before returning for the College Football Playoff. His projection is late Day 3 with a 6.2 grade as a pure backup, and he participated in the 2026 East-West Shrine Bowl with a Combine invite. Young transferred from Miami (FL), where he had 79 receptions for 930 yards and 10 touchdowns over two seasons, and previously Lackawanna College after Binghamton High School in New York. Born July 24, 2002, he majored in Sociology and Housing Management & Policy at Georgia. Separately, Oregon redshirt senior offensive tackle Isaiah World, at 6075, 309 pounds, impressed in pass protection with elite wingspan, lateral mobility, and stunt recognition from 49 career starts across Nevada and Oregon. Run blocking shows average explosiveness and hand placement issues, with frequent holding penalties. He suffered a torn ACL in the January 9, 2026, playoff game against Indiana, undergoing surgery in February, missing the Senior Bowl. In 2025, he started 14 games, allowing one sack per PFF. From San Diego's Lincoln High School with a basketball background, World transferred to Oregon in December 2024. His projection is early-middle Day 3 with a 7.2 grade as a rotational player, suited for left tackle in inside zone schemes.
