Alabama quarterback signee Bryce Young picked up another national award today.

A 5-star prospect who is generally considered the nation’s No. 1 quarterback in the Class of 2020, Young was named the 2019 High School Quarterback of the Year by the National Quarterback Club. He will be honored Jan. 17, at 2019 National Quarterback Club’s annual awards dinner and hall of fame induction in Phoenix, Arizona.

Last year, Pinson Valley’s Bo Nix and Oklahoma signee Spencer Rattler, from Phoenix, Arizona, shared the award, and the club also honored Alabama quarterbacks Tua Tagovailoa and Jalen Hurts as the co-National Collegiate Quarterback of the Year winners. Nix went on to win the starting job at Auburn as a freshman and led the Tigers to an Iron Bowl victory.

As a senior at Mater Dei (Calif.), Young completed 294-of-409 passes for 4,528 yards – a 348.3-yard per-game average – and 58 touchdowns. He added another 357 rushing yards and 10 more touchdowns.

A four-year starter in high school – two at Cathedral (Calif.) and two at Mater Dei – Young threw for 13,250 total passing yards and 152 touchdowns against 20 interceptions, according to the news release announcing the award. He added 1,084 rushing yards and 26 touchdowns, ending his high school career with 14,334 yards of total offense and a quarterback rating of 134.3.

Other quarterbacks who have won the national HS quarterback of the year award include Vince Young and Tim Tebow.

The National Quarterback of the Year in college and professional ranks will be announced after tabulation of the final ballots on Dec. 30. At the awards dinner next month, former NFL quarterbacks Drew Bledsoe and Rich Gannon will be enshrined in the National Quarterback Hall of Fame.
