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.

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.”

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.”
