Ricardo Young joined Beacon House at 5 years old, where he was regular participant of our Athletic and Education programs. When not on the field with the Falcons, he could be found working on his academics during Beacon House’s study hall. His efforts proved fruitful when he was named Woodson High School’s Class of 2010 Valedictorian and was recruited to multiple Division I schools for football. Ricardo decided to attend Virginia Tech. After one year at Virginia Tech, he ultimately transferred to the University of Maryland, College Park where he received two undergraduate degrees. Today, Ricardo is an NFL agent and the owner of three Victory Restaurant locations (Bowie, MD; Washington, D.C.; and Miami FL)
