Trey Sanders breaks through with first career rushing touchdown at Alabama

A massive weight has fallen off Trey Sanders’ shoulders.

Alabama football had its best moment in the third quarter versus Miami. After watching Brian Robinson, Jase McClellan, and Roydell Williams get worked in, Nick Saban called on the former five-star via IMG Academy. During his first two seasons as a running back, Sanders encountered much adversity. He suffered a foot injury in 2019, and serious injuries from a car accident in Florida sidelined in 2020 after a good showing against Mississippi State. He could have left the Crimson Tide or had a pity party, and no one would have blamed him.
