I thought I had heard that the youngest DI was Ted Valentine at 22 and the youngest NBA was Joey Crawford at 23 or 24 but I dont know and cant find rock hard evidence.

Only age questions I know the answer to are:

Youngest to officiate a Final Four: Teddy V. (29 or 30)
Youngest to officiate the National Championship: Nolan Fine (31)

As far as youngest to officiate any D1 game? Wouldn't be surprise if others had made it by 21 or 22. (Jason Page / Nathan Quick ???; or the off-spring of officials who got an early start???)
