CFB Awards Show: Alabama awards tracker
The annual College Football Awards Show is underway on Thursday night, and there are multiple Alabama players who are in a position to take home some hardware.
Whether it’s quarterback Bryce Young, wide receiver Jameson Williams or outside linebacker Will Anderson, the Crimson Tide are well-represented. And rightfully so, as all three players have had outstanding seasons.
Young is ranked No. 4 nationally in passing yards (4,322), No. 2 in passing touchdowns (43) and is tied for No. 6 in yards per attempt (9.4). He’s also completing 68 percent of his passes, which is tied at No. 16.
One of Young’s favorite targets this season has been Williams, who ranked in the top-5 in receiving yards (1,445), receiving touchdowns (15) and yards per catch (21.25). Williams hasn’t gotten the same volume as fellow receiver John Metchie, but he maximizes every touch.
Young and Williams are two of the leaders on the offense. On defense, Anderson has been that leader. Whether it’s on or off the field, the sophomore pass rusher embodies everything Alabama wants in a player.
