On September 3, Alabama will start its 2022 season against Utah State in the search for a second national title in three years. Leading the charge is quarterback Bryce Young, who led the team last year to an 11-1 season, beating Georgia 41-24 in the SEC championship game, and besting Cincinnati in the semifinals before succumbing to the Bulldogs in a 33-18 loss. When discussing the loss, Young remained positive. \u201cI think the biggest thing that I took away \u2014 we took away as a unit \u2014 is that all things come to light. I think there was a lot of shortcuts we were taking, a lot of stuff we weren\u2019t doing to our level, to our standard. A lot of little things that we should\u2019ve ironed out that didn\u2019t really get ironed out. In the big moments throughout the season, I think all those little things got exposed,\u201d he told Sports Spectrum<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 2021 season brought Young a series of accolades, including the Heisman Award and the SEC Player of the Year Award. He also signed an NIL deal<\/a> to appear in Dr. Pepper\u2019s \u201cFansville\u201d campaign that will begin airing this season. NIL, which stands for \u201cname, image, likeness<\/a>\u201d allows NCAA athletes to be compensated for promoting, partnering, or representing brands. Prior to 2021, most college athletes were prohibited from financially profiting from schools that used their likenesses or names. A 2021 9-0 ruling by the Supreme Court overturned those rules and has allowed students like Young to now gain compensation for their \u201cbrand,\u201d which could be quite lucrative for the 21-year-old.<\/p>\n

Yet, despite all his athletic and financial success, Young remains true to his Christian faith. \u201cI work to be the best version of myself that I can be and to embody Christ in all that I do. So, for me, regardless of how someone else views me, whatever award, accolade, what someone may say \u2026 at the end of the day, what motivates me and pushes me is to model myself after the Lord,\u201d he told Sports Spectrum. Young\u2019s social media is filled with God\u2019s praises. When he won the Heisman in December 2021, he tweeted<\/a> a picture of himself and his family with the award, saying, \u201cGod is great! Truly grateful for everyone who made this possible and for all the support I\u2019ve received. All glory to God!\u201d He published similar feelings on his Instagram<\/a>, saying he was, \u201ceternally grateful to those around me who made this possible. All glory to God!\u201d In his interview with Sports Spectrum, he summed up his faith as being integral to every part of life, saying, \u201cI bring my faith in all that I do. I work hard and try to do my best to represent God through football. Whether it\u2019s small things, big things, whatever it is, I understand that God\u2019s with me.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
