Bryce Young, QB, Alabama https://rolltide.com/sports/football/roster/bryce-young/7324
Young has been one of the most dominant forces in college football this year. The sophomore signal-caller for the Crimson Tide led his team to yet another SEC championship, throwing for a SEC Championship Game record 431 yards in a dominating win over previously undefeated Georgia. Young has thrown for 4,322 yards, 43 touchdowns and only four interceptions despite inconsistent play from his offensive line. His passer rating of 175.53 is good for fifth best in the nation.

C.J. Stroud, QB, Ohio State https://ohiostatebuckeyes.com/roster/c-j-stroud/
Stroud entered his first year as the Buckeyes' starting quarterback without having thrown a college pass. However, that didn't result in a noticeable learning curve. Stroud threw for 3,862 yards, 38 touchdowns and five interceptions in Ohio State's high-flying offense. Stroud had his team in the College Football Playoff race until the final weekend of the regular season when Michigan's dominant ground attack was the difference in a 42-27 game that decided the Big Ten East Division.

Kenny Pickett, QB, Pitt https://pittsburghpanthers.com/sports/football/roster/kenny--pickett/11399
Pickett has been one of college football's most underrated stars in 2021. He led Pitt to its first ACC title, as well as its best season since 1981. With one more win -- the Panthers play Michigan State in the Peach Bowl -- Pitt will tie its highest win total since the undefeated national championship team in 1976. Pickett has thrown for 4,319 yards, 42 touchdowns and seven interceptions, and his draft stock has risen perhaps faster than any other quarterback in college football.

Aidan Hutchinson, DE, Michigan https://mgoblue.com/sports/football/roster/aidan-hutchinson/22005
Hutchinson has been the driving force behind a Michigan defense that is one of the most complete in the country. His 14 sacks are third-most in the nation and the constant pressure he puts on quarterbacks has made him one of the top NFL draft prospects in the country. When the lights were the brightest, Hutchinson was at his best, notching seven of his sacks in November and December against Penn State, Ohio State and Iowa.
