WATCH: Will Anderson narrates Alabama hype video ahead of third Saturday in October
Alabama linebacker Will Anderson has established himself as one of the best pass rushers in all of college football. So it’s only fitting that he narrated the hype video for the Crimson Tide before their matchup Saturday with the Tennessee Volunteers.
Check out the video below.
There are a few good quotes from Anderson in the video that fall in line with the Nick Saban mantra of tuning out the outside noise.
The best one is, “I don’t really care what anyone else has to say.” The gifted linebacker knows that in a world full of social media and a near endless amount of analysts, there’s always going to be a ton of outside noise around the program.
He knows the action between the lines will determine the outcome of games, not outside hoopla, talk or anything else of that nature. His actions between the lines are everything and he knows it.
“Between the lines, I don’t have to say a word,” he said.
He doesn’t have to say a word between the lines, but there have been times during the season when he’s needed to say a few words to his teammates and he’s done so.
Anderson is one of the leaders on the Alabama roster, not only because of his incredibly high level of production on the field, but with his vocal leadership in critical moments off-the-field.
Will Anderson’s message to the team after the Texas A&M loss
After Alabama lost to Texas A&M a few weeks ago, Anderson was not shy about letting his teammates know that football needs to be the most important thing in their lives at Alabama. That’s the standard in Tuscaloosa.
“I mean…What I’ve said to you guys,” Anderson said after the loss. “We have to do a better job. Football has to be the most important thing. That’s the biggest thing when you come to Alabama, that’s the standard. Football is the most important thing and that’s what I expressed to the team and that’s what it has to be, and it’s going to be that.”
Will Anderson and the No. 4 Crimson Tide suit up against the Tennessee Volunteers on Saturday at 7:00 p.m. EST. Kickoff is from Tuscaloosa.
