Vikings Sign A New, Young Talent

Lindsey Young with Bud Grant

If you have been reading Vikings Territory over the last couple years, then you are surely aware that our own Lindsey Young is an incredibly talented writer that seems destined for the big time. I said exactly that, in a lot more words, back in April when I turned the tables and featured her in her own “Fan Spotlight” segment.

Since then, Lindsey has continued her great work here at VT, including an incredible interview with the greatest Minnesota Viking of all time, Bud Grant. For the last few weeks, however, the team that keeps this place running has been enthusiastically celebrating the fact that somebody else has noticed Lindsey’s work which has led her to a great opportunity.

Before we get too much farther explaining Lindsey’s great news, I do want to make it clear that she still plans to be a regular contributor here at VT, which makes this whole thing that much better.

Lindsey has joined the Minnesota Vikings organization in a freelance capacity, and we could not be happier for her.

She will be working with content manager Mike Wobschall and staff writer Craig Peters to produce content throughout the offseason. The writing opportunities will include contributions to the team’s annual yearbook, which will become available later this summer (we’ll be sure to let you know), and her work will also be featured in Gameday programs throughout the season.

She is as modest as ever, and keeping the topics of these features under wraps, but we’re certain they will be pretty awesome. Who knows, we may also end up seeing some of her work published over at Vikings.com.

Please join us in congratulating Lindsey on this big step in her sports journalism career, one that is very well deserved and has been hard-earned, and don’t be afraid to say “hi” to her when you see her strolling the practice fields in Mankato this year.

Follow Lindsey on Twitter for updates on all of her latest work.
