He was an impressive freshman, so Will Anderson would likely be impressed by a young player.

As he prepares for the NFL Scouting Combine and NFL Draft, Anderson is excited to watch Tyler Booker next season.

Booker, a former five-star in the 2022 recruiting class, performed well as a true freshman last year.

He played all 13 games at both offensive guard positions, helping Alabama to an Allstate Sugar Bowl victory. Booker helped Bryce Young to over 3,000 passing yards and established physicality in the run game. Jahmyr Gibbs and Jase McClellan benefitted from running behind Booker. He allowed one sack last year and earned Freshman All-SEC honors. The 6-foot-5, 332-pounder should be a force next fall, and Anderson knows it. The two-time Unanimous All-American praised Booker’s efforts on Twitter.

He will serve as Alabama’s starting left guard in spring practice.
