Overshadowed by Tim Williams and Jonathan Allen, Anderson quietly racked up 6 sacks (3rd most on the team) last year. Comfortable rushing the passer and defending the run, he'll form half of one of the nation's most fearsome edge-defender duos with Williams.
Ryan Anderson doesn’t get the hype that Tim Williams and Jonathan Allen get, but he’s a terror in his own right. He redshirted his first year in Tuscaloosa but began making a contribution in 2013 as a reserve. The former four star outside linebacker has steadily improved each season, and he’ll finally be a starter in his senior year.
