  07/23/22 - OLB Dallas TurnerJr/2024, Alabama

  Nick Saban dropped some clear markers in his Tuesday speech at SEC media days about position groups of most concern as fall camp approaches -- cornerback, offensive line and wide receiver. Saban, though, can rest easy about his outside linebackers. Alabama has struck gold when recruiting the position in recent years and could have its best group of pass rushers in Saban's 16-season tenure to show for it this fall. And if the group was not already the nation's best last season -- a strong argument could be made it was -- junior Will Anderson wants to make sure of it this season. "As a room, that's our ultimate goal: we're going to be the best outside linebacker group in the nation," he said Tuesday in Atlanta. "We're going to prove that to everybody this year." The Tide finished third in the country in averaging 3.8 sacks per game last season, while Anderson led the country with 17.5 sacks.

Anderson lost his bookend in fifth-year senior Christopher Allen to an injury in the opener and five-star sophomore Drew Sanders was also injured after replacing Allen. But five-star freshman Dallas Turner emerged midseason to finish with 8.5 sacks while earning freshman All-America honors. "Dallas has always been a really good player," Anderson said. "I remember, like, watching him in practice and everything like that. He's always been the factor. He's gonna be really good for us this year. He's gonna be a big piece of our defense this year and I'm excited to watch him play." - Birmingham News
