Alabama sophomore Bryce Young was named the winner of the 2021 Davey O'Brien Award on Thursday. The award is given annually to the best quarterback in college football.
Young beat out some stiff competition in Pittsburgh's Kenny Pickett and Ohio State's C.J. Stroud.
In his first season as Bama's starting quarterback, Young enjoyed a huge statistical year, completing 68.0 percent of his passes and throwing for 4,322 yards, 43 touchdowns and four interceptions in 2021.
Young has also led the Crimson Tide to a 12-1 record and the No. 1 seed in the College Football Playoff bracket.
