How do you replace a legend? And, make no mistake, Will Anderson was just that — legendary from his first game to his last. When he hung them up, he was second in school history in both sacks and tackles for loss. The guy who’s ahead of him? Derrick Thomas. Three All-American bids, back-to-back Defensive Heismans, best Linebacker awards, best defender awards, even a Heisman nomination later, Will left a legacy behind that is frankly daunting to type, much less replace.
So, how do you replace that kind of legend?
Maybe with an All-American, a senior cagey pass rusher, the nation’s best recruits at the position, and a terrifying amount of depth.
