After battling injuries, his hard work has paid off.
Nick Saban, Alabama’s head football coach, has referred to him as a leader on defense throughout the season, and Anfernee Jennings responds with consistent production.
Hailing from Dadeville, Ala., the redshirt senior at outside linebacker is among the top-three players in total tackles (48), tackles for loss (7.5), sacks (four), quarterback hurries (five) and pass breakups with four. While he fills up the stats sheet, Jennings provides to everyone else – including Terrell Lewis, who is having an incredible year with six sacks, nine tackles for loss and 12 quarterback pressures.
