  Just a few weeks before beginning his junior season, Bryce Young picked up one more award for his sophomore campaign. The Alabama quarterback was named the 2021-22 SEC male athlete of the year Wednesday while South Carolina's Aliyah Boston is the female athlete of the year. Young becomes the second straight Crimson Tide football player to claim the award after DeVonta Smith won it a year ago. Young, of course, won the Heisman Trophy in his first season as Alabama's starting quarterback while breaking school records for passing yards in a season with 4,872 and touchdowns with 47. - Birmingham News

  If there's any sign of Alabama's football talent level abating, it doesn't show in the 76th annual AL.com/Birmingham News SEC post-spring football report. The Crimson Tide placed 11 players on the preseason All-SEC teams, in voting by the league's 14 football information directors. Alabama put six players on the first team, with five on the second team. Leading the way is reigning Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young, who easily outdistanced the competition at quarterback. Guard Emil Ekiyor also landed on the first-team offense. Young, a junior from Pasadena, Calif., set Alabama program records for passing yards (4,872) and touchdown passes (47) in becoming the Crimson Tide's second straight Heisman winner (and first at quarterback). In his first season as a starter, he led Alabama to the SEC title and a berth in the national championship game. - Birmingham News

  Even Georgia winning the national championship last season didn't keep Alabama from its seemingly annual perch atop the AL.com Preseason SEC football poll. The Crimson Tide was the pick by 11 of the SEC's 14 football information directors to win the league championship in 2022, in voting compiled by AL.com/The Birmingham News for the 76th straight year. Alabama - which, we must remember, beat Georgia for the SEC title last year before falling to the Bulldogs in the national championship game - is the preseason favorite in this poll for the 10th consecutive year.

Saban's Alabama machine is predicted to continue its historic championship run, getting named first on 11 ballots and second on the other two. That gives the Crimson Tide 167 points, ahead of Georgia's 158 (three first-place votes, nine seconds and one third). Points were awarded in reverse order of voting (13 for first, 12 for second, 11 for third...on down to one point for a 13th-place vote). Again, because voters were instructed to ignore their own teams, there were only 13 votes per ballot. Alabama returns the Heisman Trophy winner this year in quarterback Bryce Young, and arguably the country's most-dominant player in outside linebacker Will Anderson. As usual, the Crimson Tide's roster is populated with all-star candidates, from Young and guard Emil Ekiyor on the offensive side of the ball to Anderson, fellow linebacker Henry To'oTo'o and safety Jordan Battle on defense. - Birmingham News

  A court in Mississippi has dismissed a marijuana charge against Alabama cornerback Eli Ricks. Ricks, a junior who transferred from LSU, was arrested May 1 by the Mississippi Highway Patrol and charged with possession of marijuana, not having insurance and speeding. A hearing in his case was scheduled for Thursday morning in Jones County Justice Court. A clerk for the court said Thursday afternoon that Ricks' possession of marijuana charge was dismissed and, through his attorney, Ricks pled guilty to the speeding ticket and received a fine.

A police report obtained by AL.com after Ricks' arrest showed he was stopped at 4:20 p.m. CT while traveling southbound on Interstate 59 near Laurel. Police noted Ricks was traveling 91 m.p.h. and was in possession of one gram of marijuana. Ricks was a five-star recruit from California in 2020 who was a third-team Associated Press All-America selection as a freshman. He underwent shoulder surgery midway through his sophomore season at LSU and announced in December he would transfer to Alabama. - Birmingham News

  Bryce Young has had the look. His dad, Craig Young, knows it well. He's witnessed it before. Several times, in fact, throughout the Alabama football quarterback's life. And it's back this offseason. "I can see that look in his eyes where he's been so motivated," Craig said. It appeared whenever Young spent the duration of an offseason day throwing, working out and lifting. Not traveling or taking a bunch of time off. Just working. "I've seen that in him before," Craig said. "And I know what that means." Craig saw that in 2016, when his son aimed to beat out the incumbent upperclassman starter even though Young would be only a high school freshman.

The two quarterbacks ended up splitting time that year. Then there was 2019. After he threw 39 touchdowns as a junior en route to all-state recognition, Young pushed to get even better. He ended up throwing 58 touchdowns and rushing for 10 his senior year. The look appeared again in 2021 when Young strived to take advantage of the open Alabama quarterback spot. He ended up winning the Heisman Trophy. "This," Craig said, "looks very familiar to those times." - Montgomery Advertiser

  The Manning Passing Academy is set for this week, and the country's elite college quarterbacks will be attending, including Alabama's Bryce Young. The annual camp, which takes place at Nicholls State University, marks its 26th year will be conducted over a four-day span starting Thursday. A record 45 quarterbacks have been invited, including the Crimson Tide's Heisman Trophy winner. "It's a really good group," Archie Manning told NOLA.com. "I usually cut it off at 40 counselors, but we had so many guys that wanted to come this year that I couldn't say no. I'm getting to be a softie." Young leads a lengthy list of quarterback from the SEC. In fact, 12 quarterbacks from the league have been invited. - Birmingham News
