Anderson, Neal, Young Named 2021 FWAA First Team All-Americans

For the second time in as many days, Alabama's Evan Neal and Will Anderson Jr. were named first team All-Americans, this time by the Football Writers Association of America. The offensive tackle and outside linebacker were added to the Walter Camp first team on Thursday night. This keeps Neal and Anderson in contention for unanimous All-American status.
Crimson Tide quarterback Bryce Young was also named to the FWAA first team. Jameson Williams was named to the second team as a kickoff returner. Young and Williams were also on the second team for Walter Camp.
With the four combined players, Alabama has more FWAA All-Americans than any other school.
