Alabama's Top Defender Continues to Impress
Will Anderson Jr., the reigning Bronko Nagurski Trophy winner and a consensus All-American, recorded a sack and forced fumble in Alabama's 30-24 win over Texas on Saturday.
Anderson's Impact on the Game
Anderson's sack came in the second quarter on a third-and-long play, forcing Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers to throw an incomplete pass.
In the fourth quarter, Anderson recovered a fumble by Texas running back Bijan Robinson, giving Alabama possession in Texas territory.
Anderson's Season So Far
Anderson has been a force for Alabama's defense all season, recording 7.5 sacks, 11.5 tackles for loss, and two forced fumbles.
He is a key reason why Alabama's defense ranks among the best in the country, allowing just 12.3 points per game.
Anderson's NFL Prospects
Anderson is widely considered to be one of the top prospects for the 2023 NFL Draft.
He is projected to be a first-round pick and could be the first defensive player selected overall.
