Crimson Corner: Breaking Down Alabama at the College Football Awards

On Thursday night, three Alabama football players will be up for a total of five awards at the Home Depot College Football Awards. While Alabama has a chance at winning all five awards, there is some serious competition as all players have had solid seasons for their respective teams.

Alabama sophomore quarterback is up for three awards on Thursday night. Also named a Heisman Trophy finalist, Young is up for the Davey O'Brien Award, the honor given annually to the nation's top quarterback. He is also up for the Maxwell Award, which is given to the college football player of the year. The final award is the Walter Camp Award, which is issued to the nation's most outstanding player.

Crimson Tide outside linebacker Will Anderson Jr. is up for the Bednarik Award, which is presented by the Maxwell Club to college football's defensive player of the year. Anderson is a finalist alongside Georgia defensive lineman Jordan Davis, Notre Dame safety Kyle Hamilton and Oregon defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux.

Alabama wide receiver Jameson Williams is the third and final Crimson Tide player up for an award on Thursday. Williams is a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award, which is given annually to college football's outstanding receiver. The other two finalists are Purdue wide receiver David Bell and Pitt wide receiver Jordan Addison.
