Bryce Young’s Alabama Jersey and the 2021 Heisman Season

A Bryce Young jersey points to one season above all: 2021, when he became the first quarterback in Alabama history to win the Heisman Trophy. Alabama had produced Heisman winners before, but never at the position most closely linked to the program’s modern success. For fans shopping for a No. 9 Alabama jersey, here is the season behind it.

The 2021 season by the numbers

As a sophomore starter, Young completed 314 of 462 passes for 4,322 yards, with 43 touchdowns and only 4 interceptions. Alabama finished the regular season 12-1, won the SEC and entered the College Football Playoff as the top seed.

Along the way he set Alabama’s single-game passing record with 559 yards against Arkansas, breaking a school mark that had stood for 52 years.

The SEC Championship against Georgia

The game that sealed the Heisman came in Atlanta. Georgia arrived undefeated and ranked No. 1. Alabama won 41-24, and Young threw for 421 yards and 3 touchdowns, with 461 yards of total offense. He was named game MVP and set SEC Championship Game records for passing and total offense.

The Heisman vote

Young received 2,311 points and 684 first-place votes. Michigan’s Aidan Hutchinson finished second with 954 points. His win made him Alabama’s fourth Heisman winner and its second in a row, after receiver DeVonta Smith won in 2020.

Reading the jersey label

The jersey pictured above is a Bryce Young #9 Alabama 2021 CFP Championship design with an Alabama map detail, shown in white. Crimson and black alternate versions appear in the same product line.

The “2021 CFP Championship” label is worth understanding before you buy. The national championship game played in January 2021 capped the 2020 season, when Young was a freshman on the roster behind starter Mac Jones. His own Heisman season came the following fall. So the label marks the title team he was part of, while the No. 9 recalls the season he led.

Choosing a color

• Crimson is the classic home look for Bryant-Denny Stadium.
• White matches what Alabama wears on the road and is easier in early-season heat.
• Black is an alternate for fans who want something different from the crowd.

Fit

Football jerseys are cut with room through the shoulders. If you plan to wear one over a hoodie for a late-season game, compare the size chart with a shirt you already own.

Who this jersey suits

A Young jersey works for fans who remember the 2021 SEC title game, younger fans who followed him into the NFL, and anyone who wants a reminder that Alabama’s first Heisman quarterback wore No. 9. It also pairs naturally with a DeVonta Smith jersey for fans who want both back-to-back winners.
