Alabama has had a lot of good quarterbacks in just a few short years, including Tua Tagovailoa, Jalen Hurts and Mac Jones. This year, it appears the Crimson Tide has another elite signal-caller behind center.
Throughout the season, sophomore QB Bryce Young has been in the conversation when it comes to the Heisman Trophy. He has been considered the favorite since the win against Ole Miss and possibly remains in that position.
When you look at the other options, it’s hard to imagine anybody that’s better at quarterback than Young. It can be argued that a defensive player (Will Anderson, anyone?) could get the coveted award this year, but it’s not likely, as it hasn’t happened since Charles Woodson in 1997 beat out Tennessee quarterback Peyton Manning.
It’s very likely that a QB wins the award this year and the most likely options are Young, Pitt QB Kenny Pickett and Ohio State QB CJ Stroud.
Following are a few reasons why I believe Bryce Young should be the next Heisman Trophy winner.
