Bryce Young finished his first season as Alabama‘s full-time starting quarterback with the second-most passing touchdowns (47) and yards (4,872) in the FBS en route to the 2021 Heisman Trophy.
But will he repeat?
Not if Ohio State standout C.J. Stroud has anything to say about it. Stroud is coming off a season in which he threw for 4,435 yards and 44 touchdowns, including 573 yards and six touchdowns in a Rose Bowl victory over Utah.
There’s also former five-star QB Caleb Williams, who started 2021 behind Spencer Rattler at Oklahoma, replaced him to the tune of 1,912 passing yards, 21 passing touchdowns, 442 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns, then followed head coach Lincoln Riley to USC.
Maybe Young’s teammate Will Anderson Jr., who led the FBS with 17.5 sacks a season ago, becomes the first defensive player since Charles Woodson in 1997 to win the award.
