The NCAA National College Football League announced the final winner of the 2021 Heisman Awards, and Bryce Young, a sophomore quarterback from the University of Alabama Red Tide, received 2,311 points, including 648 first votes, and was successfully elected.
This year, Yang Shaoxia only copied 4322 yards and 43 touchdowns in 463 passes and 315 in 13 games, and the NCAA quarterback score was as high as 175.4. After playing as a substitute for the full class in the freshman season, Yang Shaoxia was officially promoted to the starting point this year, leading the University of Alabama to 12 wins and 1 loss this season, the Throne of the Southeast Conference, and the top seed in the United States. His PFF rating of 92.9 is the highest in the NCAA this season, and it is not easy to be a first-year pure sophomore.
Previously, he has won the Maxwell Award, the David O'Brien Award, the Southeast Conference Best Offensive Player and a series of other highest honors in the United States that you can imagine, so it is only natural that Yang Shaoxia can be honored with Heisman this time.
Langton Dixon, Alex Lesserwood and other top offensive fronts to join the NFL has led to a sharp drop in Alabama's protective pocket strength, but Yang Shaoxia is not afraid, facing pressure with an average pass depth of 8.2 yards and only 2 interceptions in 15 touchdowns. Without pressure, Young's PFF score reached a terrifying 95.2.
On average, Yang Shaoxia has only one potentially wrong pass in every 50 passing attacks, ranking in the top ten of the five divisions, which is even more difficult for a young quarterback. Alabama wasn't the biggest hit in the NCAA this year after a large number of champions who won last season entered the professional arena, and now that they can once again be the nation's top seed to enter the playoffs, Bryce Young is the most critical person.
It is worth mentioning that after Bryce Young's Deventa Smith last year, Alabama won the Heisman Award, the fourth Heisman in Alabama's history, and the first quarterback winner, making up for the regret of Tua and full class.
Next, he will lead the Red Tides to the Cotton Bowl Semifinals on December 31, as well as a possible National Final. As for seeing him on the professional stage, the earliest is in 2023.
