Alabama is entering the 2021 College Football Playoff ranked No. 1 in the nation, and will face Cincinnati in the Cotton Bowl on Dec. 31 for a chance to compete for National Championship No. 19.
Alabama has only suffered done loss on the season, and defeated then-top-ranked Georgia in the SEC Championship game. Though some may claim this is a “down year” for the Crimson Tide, most programs would gladly take a 13-1 record and a conference title.
Well, the 2021 Alabama team would not have been able to do it without the help of some extraordinary players on both side of the ball and special teams.
Today, the SEC recognized quarterback Bryce Young as the conference’s offensive player of the year, linebacker Will Anderson jr. as the defensive players of the year and wide receiver Jameson Williams as the co-special teams player of the year.
