He totaled double-digit numbers for sacks in his three seasons at the University of Alabama. Anderson faced double and triple teams in 2022; however, he recorded ten sacks for a team that finished 11-2. He ended his career with 34.5 sacks and 62 tackles for loss, becoming the lone player in Crimson Tide history to be a two-time Unanimous First-Team All-American.
According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Anderson is visiting the Seattle Seahawks.
