Alabama quarterback Bryce Young may only be a first-year starter, but the sophomore from California is playing some solid football. To open the season, he may not have been as poised as those that came before him in recent years, but as the season has progressed, Young was able to show how he’s grown as a player.
Today, the finalists for the Walter Camp Player of the Year Award were announced, and Young made the cut.
The award “is presented annually to the most outstanding player of the year in college football who has exemplified the qualities of self-discipline, unselfish team play, desire to excel, mature judgement and respect for leadership.”
Young has put up some impressive numbers n 2021, tallying 3,901 yards and 40 touchdowns on 68.9% completion while only throwing 4 interceptions.
Only three Alabama players have won the award: Derrick Henry (2015), Tua Tagovailoa (2018) and DeVonta Smith (2020), according to Alabama Football’s official release.
