This weekly award factors academic and football success for players. For the entire Alabama team, it was a positive week after the 30-24 win over Ole Miss in Week 11. The 3 players stepped up for the team and helped Alabama win a critical game in SEC play.
That win eliminated Ole Miss from winning the SEC West. Young played a significant role in the win with 209 passing yards and 3 touchdowns. Young completed 21 of 33 attempted passes. His performance in Week 11 added to his stellar 2022 season. Young has passed for 2,443 yards, 22 touchdowns, and 4 interceptions in 2022.
Ole Miss sacked Young 3 times, but Alabama’s offensive lined worked tirelessly to protect Young for 4 quarters. Roberts was a factor in protecting Young and opening up the running game. Alabama rushed for 108 yards in the game.
Jackson was not a major contributor in the Ole Miss game but he made a difference in the classroom. Jackson was recognized for his ability to balance being an athlete and a great student.
Alabama is set to host Austin Peay on Saturday at 12 p.m. ET.
