Alabama quarterback Bryce Young has been named the 2021 Maxwell Award winner as the best all-around player in the nation.
Young beat out Pittsburgh quarterback Kenny Pickett and Michigan State running back Kenneth Walker III to win the honor, which was announced Thursday at The Home Depot College Football Awards.
Alabama is starting to have a monopoly on this award. Young is the fifth player in program history to win the Maxwell Award. All five of the winners have come since 2013.
A.J. McCarron (2013), Derrick Henry (2015), Tua Tagovailoa (2018) and DeVonta Smith (2020) previously won the Maxwell Award.
