Alabama will see a familiar face Saturday afternoon when the No. 2 Crimson Tide visit No. 20 Arkansas.
A lot of times, too.
Razorbacks junior linebacker Drew Sanders is in his first season in Fayetteville after spending the past two years in Tuscaloosa. The 6-foot-5, 233-pounder has excelled in his new locale, having racked up 31 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks through the 3-1 start for Sam Pittman’s Hogs.
“I’m very happy for Drew. He’s getting what he deserves,” Alabama junior linebacker Will Anderson said Tuesday in a news conference. “He’s playing extremely well, and I’m happy for him and very proud of him. We were roommates, and we talked about things all the time, and we would motivate each other.
“To see him doing well at Arkansas is great.”
