Earlier this week, ESPN released their rankings of the top 100 players in college football this year. As you’d expect, the list is loaded with stars from the national powerhouses at the top of the list.
Alabama is the top ranked team in the country in preseason polls, so it makes sense that defensive end Will Anderson and quarterback Bryce Young are the top two players on the list, but the order might be a little surprising. Even though Bryce Young is the reigning Heisman Trophy winner, Anderson takes the top spot since there are many out there who believe that he has the talent to win the prestigious trophy, even though he plays on the defensive side of the ball.
