Young had a successful season, leading the Crimson Tide to their third SEC Championship over the past four years and the number-one seed in the College Football Playoff. The sophomore quarterback threw for 4,322 yards and 43 touchdowns, completing 68.0% of his 462 pass attempts for 9.4 yards per pass attempt. This was Young’s first season as a starter, after throwing just 22 passes in his freshman season.
The celebration for Young will be short-lived as he and his Bama teammates get ready for their College Football Playoff semi-final against the Cincinnati Bearcats.
FanDuel Sportsbook has the Crimson Tide lined as -14 favorites against the Bearcats. You can also find Alabama atop the National Championship futures board, currently priced as +120 favorites.
