Bryce Young is the BamaCentral Crimson Tide Athlete of the Week

Young earns the honor in back-to-back weeks, this time due to his game-winning contributions in the final minutes of the Iron Bowl.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama sophomore quarterback Bryce Young is the BamaCentral Crimson Tide Athlete of the Week for the week of Nov. 22-28, 2021. With the honor, Young has now earned the title in back-to-back weeks.

While the Crimson Tide offense as a whole struggled for the majority of Saturday's game at Auburn in the Iron Bowl, a 97-yard drive in the game's final two minutes led to a game-tying touchdown connection between Young and wide receiver Ja'Corey Brooks.

In the game's fourth overtime period, Young found wide receiver John Metchie III, who crossed the goal line to give Alabama the 24-22 victory.

In total, Young completed 25-of-51 passes for 317 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. On the game-tying drive, Young accounted for all 97 yards, with 85 of them passing and 12 rushing.

Following the Iron Bowl victory, Young is back on top as the favorite to win the Heisman Trophy.
