Bryce Young and Will Anderson Jr. are expected to be 2 of the top prospects in the NFL Draft next spring, so their Alabama careers are likely down to 1 or 2 games.
Both players on Monday were asked about the possibility of this week’s Iron Bowl being their final game, should they opt out of a bowl game. The postseason game is not expected to be a marquee destination, such as a College Football Playoff semifinal.
Young said, “As far as me thinking about my future, I take everything one day at a time. So all I’ve been focused on throughout the year has been the next opponent, and obviously, this is huge. This is a huge game. This means a lot to me, to people in the entire state, to us as a team. This is a huge game, so all I think about is today. How can I be the best version of myself today to get ready to put myself in the best circumstances, how we as a team can do that, and that’s all my head’s focused on.”
Anderson offered a similar response.
“I haven’t made any decisions yet,” Anderson said. “I’ve just been really focused on this season and continuing to be a good leader and making sure that I’m showing guys the right way of how to do things around here. But it’s a great time here. Playing in Bryant-Denny has been fun, so many memories. I just wanna keep those memories going. It’s been fun, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.”
