It was surprising that Will Anderson Jr. wasn't one of the four finalist for the award.
Young told reporters Tuesday that he thinks he was deserving. I think he deserves to be there, if you look at numbers and production. It's unfortunate that he won't be there.
He leads the country in both tackles for loss and sacks. The Nagurski Award is given to the best defensive player in college football.
The Michigan defensive lineman, who was named one of the four Heisman finalist on Monday, has 55 tackles, 15 tackles for loss, and 13.5 sacks.
Anderson said that Hutchinson was a "hell of a player" and wished him well. He said that his focus was on winning a national championship.
Anderson said, "Bryce is there." We are straight.
Anderson said he had nothing to prove. It's all what I do. Nobody's expectations are higher for me. I'm just going to keep doing what I've been doing.
Williams said he would've liked to see his teammate get more consideration for the award.
He was more deserving of a spot in New York, according to Williams. Will has had one of the best defensive seasons I've ever seen.
The last defensive player to win the award was in 1997 when Charles Woodson of Michigan took home the trophy.
Chase Young of Ohio State was the last defensive player to be named a Heisman finalist in 1997, when he had 46 tackles, 21 tackles for loss and 16.5 sacks.
Young and Hutchinson are two of the three quarterbacks who are considered to be the best in the country this season.
Young is the favorite at -4000 odds, followed by Hutchinson at 20-1. They are each 30-1.
Young, a sophomore, is vying to become the first Alabama quarterback to win the Heisman after scoring 46 touchdown and only four turnovers.
Young said that the opportunity to do that is something he doesn't take for granted.
I'm really grateful to be in this position, and I'm thankful to have an opportunity to go after an accomplishment like this.
