Bryce Young and Will Anderson WILL play for Alabama in the Sugar Bowl

coach Nick Saban confirmed to reporters Friday night that quarterback Bryce Young and linebacker Will Anderson will play in the Sugar Bowl on December 31 rather than opt out to prepare for the NFL draft.

Young is projected to be the No.1 overall pick in the 2023 draft, and Anderson, considered among the best defensive prospects available, is expected to be a high selection as well.
