The All-Impact Team: 2020 recruits who will play right away (247Sports)
quote:
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.

What they're saying about 5-star QB Bryce Young (247Sports)
quote:
Turn on the tape and you see the potential of Bryce Young, dual-threat quarterback who has already mastered much of what will be expected of him at one of college football's elite programs. His athleticism and poise as the nation's top-ranked player jumps off the film and Alabama's coaching staff can't wait to see what he's got.
“I just absolutely love the guy,” Nick Saban said of Young during the early signing period. “I love his character. He’s got a great family. He’s got all the right stuff, and I think that’s really important in the quarterback position. You’ve heard me say this many times before: if you play quarterback, it’s hard to play the position if the people around you don’t play well, so having great leadership qualities can contribute to that. I think Bryce certainly possesses those qualities.”
A natural successor to Tua Tagovailoa, Young comes to Tuscaloosa with playing early on his mind. “Off the field I try my best to push myself to be perfect,” Young told 247Sports. “On the football field, for me, it’s kind of about letting go. I’ve played a lot with faith. I’m trying to trust God, what I’ve done, and my decisions. I try to play free and relaxed, without holding onto anything.”
Here's what they're saying nationally about the gem of Alabama's 2020 recruiting class... (more)
