On Monday morning, Alabama quarterback Bryce Young officially declared for the 2023 NFL Draft. The former top quarterback from the 2020 recruiting cycle spent two seasons as the Crimson Tide’s starting signal-caller, which included a national title appearance and Heisman Trophy.
“First and foremost, I’d like to thank God,” he said during his announcement. “With Him, none of this is possible, and through Him, I can do all things. I’d like to thank my family, my parents, my mom and my dad and the rest of my family and everyone who’s supported me. I’d like to give a huge thanks to Coach Saban for always believing in me and the entire university, and a thank you to all the supporters, all the fans that helped, everyone in the building, my teammates, my brothers through all three years.
“Everyone that I’ve been able to play with and be around are the reason that I’ve been able to do what I have while I’ve been here. I’d also like to thank all my coaches, everyone who works here, everyone on the staff in all facets. Coming here was the best decision of my life. I’m forever grateful for the University of Alabama and all that and everyone that’s with them. With that being said, I’ll be declaring for the 2023 NFL Draft. Thank you, guys.”
Young has been everything thing fans, coaches and teammates could’ve possibly hoped for when he flipped his commitment from USC in Sept. of 2019. With the California native announcing his departure, we thought it was an appropriate time to share some of the top photos from his career at Alabama.
