5-Star DE Jayden Wayne draws inspiration from Will Anderson latest performance

Like many people, five-star defensive end, Jayden Wayne was blown away by Will Anderson’s performance against Mississippi State last week.

Anderson recorded four sacks against the Bulldogs Saturday in an Alabama win and was the first player since Derrick Thomas to do so. Wayne tweeted he loved watching Anderson play while watching the Crimson Tide sophomore in action and later told Touchdown Alabama he felt Anderson was relentless in his latest outing.

“He was dominant,” Wayne said. “He never stopped attacking.”

Wayne is regarded as one of the top edge rushers in the 2023 recruiting class.
