After a sensational season capped with the SEC title, Alabama quarterback Bryce Young won the 2021 Heisman Trophy.
Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud, Pitt quarterback Kenny Pickett and Michigan defensive end Aidan Hutchinson were also finalists for college football's most prestigious honor. He is the first Alabama quarterback to win the award.
"First and foremost, I'd like to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ," Young said. "Without him, I couldn't be here. Through him, all things are possible."
The sophomore went on to thank his parents, who were visibly tearing up and all smiles in the audience, and his teammates, giving a special shoutout to his offensive line and defense.
