After not revealing any particular plans about the dime package for Alabama this weekend versus Georgia, head coach Nick Saban singled-out Keaton Anderson as a player that he feels can the handle the challenge limiting the Bulldogs’ offensive weapons.
Despite being signed as a linebacker in 2015, Anderson has spent the last two years high-pointing passes in practice as a safety. The 6-foot-1, 196-pound junior proved to be a staple on kickoff and punt coverage as a redshirt freshman in 2016 and has been the Crimson Tide’s most consistent player on that side of the football.
Anderson accounts for 20 career tackles, with 13 coming this season and most of them on special teams.
