Bryce Young took home one of his many individual awards on Wednesday from the 2021 season.
The Allstate Sugar Bowl Committee presented him with the Manning Award. In honor of Archie, Peyton, and Eli Manning, the award goes to the best quarterback in college football via the Allstate Sugar Bowl. Young joined Mac Jones (2020) as the second Crimson Tide signal-caller to win the trophy since 2004. He set school records in passing yards (4,872), touchdown passes (47), and total scores (50) for a single season. Young did not win a national championship, but he did secure the Heisman Trophy.
