Alabama linebacker wins 2022 Rotary Lombardi Award

He did not have the immense production from his sophomore season, but Will Anderson goes down as one of Alabama’s most fearsome edge rushers in school history.

The junior from Georgia has ended the regular season with national awards.

In back-to-back seasons, Anderson won the Bronko Nagurski Trophy and Southeastern Conference Defensive Player of the Year (Associated Press). He also earned SEC’s Defensive Player of the Year from the league’s coaches. According to the Rotary Club of Houston, Anderson took home the Rotary Lombardi Trophy on Wednesday — becoming the third player in Crimson Tide history to win it.
