When he graduated from high school in 1997, Youkilis weighed about 227 pounds and was 6′ 1″. He was recruited by two Division I schools: Butler University and his ultimate choice, the University of Cincinnati —an institution that was the alma mater of both his father and Youkilis’ longtime idol, Sandy Koufax, and had just finished a 12–46 season. UC coach Brian Cleary spotted Youkilis at a winter camp. “I looked at him and said, Well, we need somebody”, said Cleary. “I’d love to tell you I saw something no one else did, but he was just better than what we had.”
While majoring in finance, Youkilis excelled as a player for the Cincinnati Bearcats from 1998 to 2001. “I take no credit”, said Cleary. “He coaches himself. He knows his swing. Any time we said anything to him, he was already a step ahead. He made the adjustments he had to make. I just think he’s a really smart guy who had a great feel for what he had to do.” In his junior year in 2000, he was a second-team All-American and first-team All-Conference USA, as he set school records by hitting three home runs in one game and 19 for the season; still, he went undrafted. “He was kind of a square-shaped body, a guy [who] in a uniform didn’t look all that athletic”, Cleary said. “He wasn’t a tall, prospect-y looking guy. He looked chubby in a uniform. … It wasn’t fat. He was strong. [But] I think the body did scare some people away.”

Youkilis was named a reserve for the 82nd All-Star Game. At the All-Star break, he was 3rd in the league in doubles (26), 4th in on-base percentage (.399), 6th in RBIs (63), 7th in OPS (.911), and 9th in walks (49). For the season, he led all AL third basemen in fielding percentage, at .967. However, he batted only .258, his lowest MLB season average of his career.
In 2001, at Haas’ urging, the Boston Red Sox drafted Youkilis in the eighth round (243rd overall), to the chagrin of Billy Beane, who had hoped that he would be able to draft him in a later round. ESPN reported that: “questions about his defense and power with wood kept him out of the top part of the draft.” He signed for a mere $12,000 signing bonus. “Kevin would have played for a six-pack of beer”, his father said.
