Bryce Young earns Alabama’s MVP honor, three permanent team captains named at Crimson Tide’s awards banquet

The University of Alabama football team held its annual awards banquet on Sunday at Coleman Coliseum.

Alabama will the 2022 season by playing Kansas State at 11:00 a.m. CT on New Year’s Eve in the Allstate Sugar Bowl.

It did not make the College Football Playoff, but the Crimson Tide will play in a New Year’s Six bowl.

Alabama named its three permanent team captains — voted on by the players — at the end of the banquet. Bryce Young (quarterback), Will Anderson Jr. (outside linebacker), and Jordan Battle (safety) received the honor. Young and Anderson have been great ambassadors for the Alabama program, and both are expected to be selected in the top five of next April’s NFL Draft.
