TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama football quarterback Bryce Young is the BamaCentral Crimson Tide Athlete of the Week for the week of Oct. 18-24, 2021. It is the second time this season that Young has received the honor.

In Saturday's 52-24 homecoming victory over Tennessee, Young put on a dual-threat quarterback clinic. Completing 31-of-43 passes, Young accounted for 371 passing yards along with two touchdowns. On the ground, he was equally as impressive by rushing for 42 yards off of 10 carries and two more touchdowns.
