William Sanders is Alabama’s physical, versatile guard pushing for a 2026 starting job
Sanders enters the 2026 season as a redshirt sophomore competing for Alabama’s left guard spot after appearing in all 15 games in 2025 and logging rotational snaps across the interior. He’s a sturdy 6-3, 321-pound lineman with position flexibility, and reports note he was one of Alabama’s most experienced returning interior blockers before a spring back injury temporarily slowed him. The appeal is clear: he brings SEC reps, toughness, and developmental upside—exactly the kind of grinder a team loves when it wants a dependable, tone-setting interior presence.
