Top-ranked Alabama has shined on both sides of the ball, and 2021 Heisman recipient Bryce Young is at the center of it all. He's 18-of-28 through the air for 195 yards and four touchdown throws.
CBS sports released their list of preseason All-Americans and six University of Alabama football players found their names on it. However, only one of them could be awarded the title of preseason player of the year, and that honor would be given to Will Anderson Jr.
Alabama welcomes back 15 starters and 51 lettermen for the 2022 season. On offense, five starters and 23 lettermen returned, while on the defense, seven starters and 24 lettermen are back on the field, with all three starting specialists returning, as well.
No matter what Anderson's stats were in the 2021 Alabama loss, he would tell anyone that it wasn't enough. His focus will be leading Alabama to redemption against the Aggies in 2022.
