In the past two weeks, finalists and winners for several prestigious college football awards have been revealed. Earlier this week, the finalists for the Shaun Alexander Award, which honors the nation’s top freshman, were announced. In a press release, Alexander congratulated the finalists, stating, “I’ve enjoyed watching this year’s top 5 impact college football with some of the best performances I’ve seen this season. I’m confident these guys will continue to perform at an elite level for years to come. Good luck to the winner!”
One of the finalists is Alabama wide receiver Ryan Williams, who made an impressive impact at just 17 years old. The other finalists are Minnesota safety Koi Perich, Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith, South Carolina edge rusher Dylan Stewart, and Texas edge rusher Colin Simmons. Alabama shared the announcement with a post on Thursday morning.
