Alabama football’s Bryce Young and Will Anderson Jr. were each recognized as semifinalists for postseason awards, the Maxwell Football Club announced Monday afternoon.
Young is one of 15 candidates for the Maxwell Award, presented annually to recognize the top player in college football. Anderson is part of a group of 18 semifinalists for the Bednarik Award, which is awarded to the nation’s most outstanding defensive player.
Alabama has claimed four Maxwell Awards in the past, including DeVonta Smith (2020), Tua Tagovailoa (2018), Derrick Henry (2015) and AJ McCarron (2013). The Crimson Tide have also seen two players take home the Bednarik, first with Jonathan Allen (2016) followed a year later by Minkah Fitzpatrick (2017).
