Breaking: Four-star DE Williams Anderson commits to Alabama

William Anderson exploded with big offer after big offer early in 2019, and one of those came from Alabama.

The edge rusher out of Hampton (Ga.) Dutchtown has visited Tuscaloosa a handful of times since then, and after a visit last Saturday, Anderson thought about his recruitment, and has committed to the Crimson Tide.

IN HIS OWN WORDS

"I have thought about committing to Alabama the last two months and I have now committed to Alabama over Georgia Tech," said Anderson. "They moved into my top five after my visit in January, then they moved to the top after my visit in April.

"The main reasons Alabama is the school for me are the level of competition, academic team interaction with student-athletes and the coaching staff.

"I have visited Alabama three times and the vibe is family oriented and transparent. There is no pressure from the staff, everyone is positive and all know the vision of coach Saban. They answered all of my mom's questions, and she was satisfied. I really appreciated that factor.

"It means a lot that I am preparing to play at the next level of football and maturing into manhood with an elite group of guys and coaches.

"Roll Tide."

RIVALS REACTION

Alabama is having a great weekend in recruiting. Rivals250 linebacker Demouy Kennedy committed early Sunday morning, now Anderson adds his name to the list. Anderson is being to play the JACK linebacker position by the Crimson Tide and he could really excel there. He is a top pass rusher off the edge with good quickness off the ball and the ability to turn the corner. He was one of the hottest prospects to start the new year and that is when Alabama made their move. Anderson has a great work ethic, he is always working to improve his craft and he has the potential to be a big-time pass rusher in the SEC.
