Former Alabama Crimson Tide star pass rusher Will Anderson had a big compliment for the Tennessee Vols this week while also admitting that he "low-key" hates UT. 

Anderson, the No. 3 overall selection in the 2023 NFL Draft by the Houston Texans, made the comments during an appearance on "Green Light with Chris Long".

Long, a former first round draft pick who spent 11 seasons in the NFL, asked Anderson which stadium in the SEC was the toughest to play in (that folks might not expect) during his time at Alabama. 

Anderson quickly said Tennessee — hardly a surprise considering Anderson was present at Neyland Stadium last season for the Vols' win against Bama (which provided the wildest scene in college football last year). 

Long, who played college football at Virginia, then asked Anderson which team he low-key hates in the SEC. And Anderson, unsurprisingly, went with Tennessee. 

Here's the exchange. 

It's been a while since Tennessee topped Alabama's "hate list". That honor has gone to Auburn, LSU, and Georgia in recent years. But thanks to the Vols' memorable 52-49 win against the Crimson Tide last season, it looks like Tennessee is once again public enemy number one in Tuscaloosa.
