247Sports put together its "All-Impact Team" for the 2020 class. The 24-player unit (11 offensive players, 11 defensive players, two special teams) doesn't necessarily include the most talented players this cycle. Instead, it spotlights the prospects with the best combination of ready-to-play skill and depth chart opportunity.

QUARTERBACK



Bryce Young, Alabama
247Sports Composite: No. 2

There is no more ready-to-play quarterback this cycle than Young. Young may be slender-framed (5-foot-11, 183 pounds), but his ability to read defenses, feel pressure within the pocket and deliver throws from different platforms and angles is special. He’s experienced, too. Young has put up record-setting numbers at Mater Dei High School, which plays one of the toughest schedules in the country. Young is instantly the most talented QB on Alabama’s roster. Mac Jones waited his turn in Tuscaloosa and played well in Tagovailoa’s absence late in the season. But he’s not BY. Don’t be surprised if Young is starting Week 1 against USC, a school Young was committed to for much of his recruitment.
