Throughout the 2021 season, Young put on a clinic getting the Crimson Tide into the endzone, throwing at least two touchdowns in every game. He also tied Mac Jones and Tagovailoa's marks for number of five-touchdown games in a single season at three, though only Tagoaviloa has ever thrown six in one game in Crimson Tide history.
Young became the first quarterback in Alabama history to win the Heisman Trophy after leading the Crimson Tide to a clutch victory over the Auburn Tigers and walloping the Georgia Bulldogs in the SEC Championship.
