On the heels of releasing its annual all-state football team, the Alabama Sports Writers Association has announced the finalists for the Back of the Year and Lineman of the Year awards for each classification. The lists are loaded with talent which includes 13 players who are committed to SEC schools.
The winners of each award are usually announced at the annual ASWA football banquet but it is still unclear whether a banquet will be held this year due to COVID-19. The winners will be announced at a later date along with the Mr. Football award and the super all-state team.
