Trey Sanders
Sanders came to Alabama as one of the most coveted backs in the country. Sanders has great power and speed and is also dangerous out of the backfield as a receiver.
Injuries have plagued the young back in his time in Tuscaloosa. He sat out his true freshman season with an injury back in 2019. Then in the 2020 season, he was involved in a car accident that left many wondering if he would ever play football again.
We saw Sanders shine to open the 2021 season against Miami where he rushed for 41 yards on eight carries, including a 20-yard touchdown run. But Sanders has just 12 rushing attempts since the Miami contest. Many Tide fans have wondered if Sanders is even fully healthy yet or is he just not performing to the standard that Nick Saban and the staff would like to see in practice.
Regardless, Sanders is now the third option at running back for the Tide, if he could ever get back to even just 90% of the player he was before the injuries, he could be a special player for Alabama.
