The Manning Award, judged by the Sugar Bowl committee, is awarded each season to the nation's top quarterback.

Most recently in 2020, Alabama's Mac jones took home the trophy after a memorable season which saw him lead Alabama to an undefeated record and a national championship, as well as finish with an impressive stat line.

So far in Young's first season as a starter he has shown off not only his incredible athleticism, a department Jones definitely lacked in, but his ability to truly lead the team.

In multiple crucial situations against the Crimson Tide's SEC foes this year, Young has come up huge for his team, finding the endzone seemingly at will.

Coming off of a massive performance against Mississippi State, where Young threw for nearly 350 yards and four touchdowns, Alabama moves on to face Tennessee.

The Volunteers seem to have a new life since the hiring of coach Josh Heupel, but will Bryce Young continue his dominance of opposing defenses?
