Skip Young, also known as the masked Sweet Brown Sugar, is an American professional wrestler who competed on the Southeastern regional promotions during the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s in Florida Championship Wrestling, World Class Championship Wrestling and the National Wrestling Alliance.

After making his debut in Florida Championship Wrestling, Skip Young originally wrestled as the masked Sweet Brown Sugar winning the NWA Southern Heavyweight Championship three times between 1979 and 1982cite book | author=Royal Duncan & Gary Will | title=Wrestling Title Histories | publisher=Archeus Communications | year=4th Edition 2006 | id=ISBN 0-9698161-5-4 ] . He also formed a successful tag team Butch Reed in the Florida region winning the NWA North American Tag Team titles in April 1982.

During the early 1980s, he also toured Japan most notably facing Genichiro Tenryu and Ashura Hara in a tag team match with The Destroyer in Tokyo, Japan on January 3, 1982.

After leaving the Florida region in 1984, Young began wrestling unmasked in the Texas-area where he began teaming with "Pistol" Pez Whatley and feuded with the PYT Express (Koko Ware and Norvell Austin), during the mid 1980s. However, despite prior success teaming with Kerry Von Erich in 1980, Young was little used by Texas promoter Eddie Graham due to his declining popularity [Funk, Terry and Scott E. Williams. "Terry Funk: The Hardcore Legend". Champaigne, Illinois: Sports Publishing LLC, 2005. (pg. 85) ISBN 1-58261-991-3] although he would later win the WCWA Tag Team titles with "Mr. USA" Tony Atlas in 1987.
