Im gonna say Odhran MacNaillis!! quality young player and to be a intercounty midfielder at 20 takes alot of doing!!! especially in Donegal the way they play....

Can't believe he is only 20. Has a big future ahead of him.

Maybe that's because he's not! He's either 21 or 22 as he wasn't under 21 this year.

O'Riordan deserves a mention but I think Paul Murphy or McNillias would be two contenders.

Any views on Paul Mannion of Dublin ? Seems to be holding his own in that Dublin team.

If Dean Rock was in the starting 15 he would surely win it hands down.

MacNiallis was born on August 17th 1992...that doesnt make him 20

You have to be under 21 to qualify fir young footballer of the year. Dean Rock is 23 or 24.

Young Shane Walsh from Galway had been the stand out young attacking player in this year's championship, he'll be the new Paraic Joyce. Macnallis has been solid, but with Donegals game plan, it is hard to show off your individual skill. No way should McCaffrey or Costello get it. they havent played enough.

Shane Walsh is head and shoulders above any youngster...but he wont get it because Galway arent a fawshionable county at the minute..it will no doubt be given to an undeserving Dub
