The Sporting News released its 2022 All-American team on Tuesday, and Alabama was well-represented with three players nominated to the first or second team.
Outside linebacker Will Anderson was the Crimson Tide’s lone first-team nomination while defensive backs Kool-Aid McKinstry and Jordan Battle were named to the second team.
This is Anderson’s fourth first-team All-American nomination inching him closer to becoming a unanimous All-American for the second-consecutive season. The junior was already a consensus All-American on Tuesday as he was named a first-team nomination by the Walter Camp, FWAA, and the AP.
