Padraig Pearses' Oisin Flannery comes into the Galway team to face Kilkenny in the All-Ireland MHC final at Croke Park on Sunday.
Flannery is named at centre-forward by manager Jeffrey Lynskey as Sean McDonagh loses out in the only change from the 3-22 to 0-16 semi-final win over Dublin.
Like their senior compatriots, the Tribesmen are bidding to win back-to-back All-Irelands, a feat last achieved by Tipperary at this level in 2006/07.
Full-forward Donal O'Shea will aim to follow in the footsteps of his father Eamon by winning an All-Ireland minor championship title. O'Shea Snr scored 1-1 in the All-Ireland minor final for Tipperary in 1976.
Galway (All-Ireland MHC final v Kilkenny): Patrick Rabbitte; Michael Flynn, Shane Jennings, Oisin Salmon; Shane Quirke, Sean Neary, Evan Duggan; Jason O'Donoghue, Oisin Flannery (St Thomas'); Diarmuid Kilcommins, Oisin Flannery (Padraig Pearses), Adam Brett; Niall Collins, Donal O'Shea, Dean Reilly.
