As the second half of the season gets ready to kickoff for Alabama, the Crimson Tide defense received a sense of recognition for their efforts this season. On Tuesday, November 1st, Alabama Outside Linebacker Will Anderson Jr. and Defensive Back Kool-Aid McKinstry were named semifinalist for the Bednarik award.
Alabama is represented well on yet another preseason watch list as Will Anderson, Jordan Battle and Henry To’o To’o were named to the 2022 Bednarik Award Watch List by the Maxwell Football Club on Monday.
Most years it would be impossible to improve a defense that produced four of the first 49 NFL Draft picks, but the Bednarik Award watch list gives the indication that Alabama could be even stronger in 2016.
