Will Anderson is the newest member of a prestigious group for Alabama football.

He became a Unanimous All-American for the Crimson Tide.

Anderson earned first-team honors from the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA). All five selectors named the sophomore a first-teamer. He is the twelfth defensive player under Nick Saban to earn the honor — joining Rolando McClain, Mark Barron, DeMarcus Milliner, C.J. Mosley, Landon Collins, Reggie Ragland, Reuben Foster, Jonathan Allen, Minkah Fitzpatrick, Quinnen Williams, and Patrick Surtain II. Anderson is the 25th honoree overall in the Saban era for the Tide.
