Anderson and Turner the two best linebackers in CFB

Anderson and Turner the two best linebackers in CFB

Alabama Football has produced a plethora of superstars under Coach Saban in the past decade. From a receiver room that featured Jerry Jeudy Henry Ruggs DeVonta Smith and Jaylen Waddle to a running back room that had Derrick Henry Alvin Kamara T.J. Yeldon and Kenyan Drake, it is safe to say that Saban is used to working with loaded position groups.

However, the 2022 Tide linebackers may be the best unit that Tuscaloosa, and college football for that matter, has ever seen.

247 Sports’ CFB analyst, Josh Pate, discussed the position group today as he said, “I think Alabama has the two best linebacker’s in college football in Will Anderson and Dallas Turner.” The duo amazingly accounted for 20 sacks in 2021 as both were true underclassmen.

Behind the two superstars, is former five-star Chris Braswell who would be a premier pass rusher at any other school, says Pate. The Tide also return their leading tackler from the 2021 campaign in Henry To’oTo’o and he is joined by veteran Jaylen Moody. Having these four on the field at the same time will be a headache for every single opponent this year.

In the waiting, are highly rated recruits such as Deontae Lawson Kendrick Blackshire and others. However, the real prized possession is IMG Academy’s Jihaad Campbell who will likely fill Anderson’s role in 2023.

From starters to what’s coming down the pipeline, we will look back in a few years and certainly discuss the surreal amount of talent in this position group.
