After a stint at his alma mater, Georgia Southern, in 2020, Young returned to DeLand as head coach in 2021. He compiled a 13-30 record across four seasons.

Young joins a new staff with the Owls. They handed the keys of their program to former Texas Tech offensive coordinator Zach Kittley following a 3-9 showing in 2024. The 33-year-old, first-time head coach hired Dewhurst, previously a defensive analyst at Coastal Carolina, as his DC.

Dewhurst is also a first-time coordinator.
