Mac Jones became the first quarterback out of Alabama to win the Fort Worth-based Davey O’Brien Award in 2020. Now the Crimson Tide have back-to-back winners.
Alabama sophomore Bryce Young was named the 2021 winner on Thursday night as the Davey O’Brien Award kicked off The Home Depot College Football Awards show on ESPN.
It came as little surprise as Young is the favorite to win the Heisman Trophy on Saturday. Young, who was Jones’ backup in 2020, beat out fellow finalists Pitt’s Kenny Pickett and Ohio State’s C.J. Stroud.
Fort Worth and Tarrant County will get a first-hand look at Young later this month, too.
