Elba star running back Alvin Henderson will have a chance to be a three-time Class 1A Back of the Year.

The Auburn signee, who finished his career as Alabama’s all-time leading rusher, is one of three finalists to be the 2024 1A Back of the Year. He already won the award in 2022 and 2023.

The Alabama Sports Writers Association announced three finalists for Back of the Year and Lineman of the Year on Christmas Day in all seven AHSAA classifications and in the AISA.

All the finalists will be honored on Jan. 28 in Montgomery at the annual Player of the Year Banquet. The ASWA will also announce the state’s highest award – Mr. Football – that day.

In addition to Henderson, Tuscaloosa Academy QB Preston Lancaster also has a chance to repeat as Back of the Year on the 2A level.

Two players have a chance to win a second title in a different classification. Fyffe’s Tucker Wilks was the 2A Lineman of the Year last season. He is a finalist in 3A this year. Kentonio Kelly was the 3A Lineman of the Year for Mobile Christian last year. He’s a 5A Lineman of the Year finalist for Vigor this year.

Here are the finalists for Back and Linemen of the Year in each class. They were voted on by members of the ASWA statewide prep committee. Each player had to be a first-team All-State selection to be a finalist.

Backs of the Year include quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers and defensive backs. Linemen include offensive and defensive lines and linebackers.
