Both Anderson Jr. and Young are expected to play in the bowl game.
The coach said he doesn't expect the Tide to have any opt- outs.
The Sugar Bowl pits Alabama against Kansas State.
Both players were at practice on Friday. Anderson and Young are expected to give up their college eligibility to enter the draft. It is extremely rare for a projected first-round pick to play in a bowl game.
Anderson won the trophy for the second year in a row. He won the top award for offensive or defensive linemen in the country.
Anderson is 10th in the nation with 17 tackles for loss.
Young, who hurt his throwing shoulder against Arkansas and didn't play the next week against Texas A&M, has 3,007 passing yards, 27 touchdown passes and just five turnovers this season. His total QBR is eighth in the nation. The first Alabama quarterback to win the trophy was Young.
