Bryce Young has started just fifteen games, and already his trophy case is the envy of the nation. Add another to his list, as the reigning Heisman winner took home the ESPY Award last night for Best Male College Athlete. Young threw for program records in yards (4,872) yards and touchdowns (47) last year en route to an unlikely Iron Bowl comeback victory, SEC Championship, and National Championship appearance.
Alas, the Iron Bowl was not named GOTY, but it’s hard to top the Chiefs-Bills AFCG barnburner (and, unlike the Iron Bowl, that one had the benefit of actually being fun to watch).
