Here are our Alabama football practice observations focused on the offensive line, with what we saw from Parker Brailsford and Kadyn Proctor.
Gone is JC Latham, a first round pick who was a strong, steady presence at right tackle. The starting left tackle, Kadyn Proctor , is back, but he missed all of spring after transferring to Iowa.
Brailsford is noticeably smaller than the other offensive lineman in the first group through drills, which consisted of Pritchett, Booker, Brailsford, Roberts and Formby. But that isn’t shocking if you look at the roster. All the other linemen in that top group are listed at least 6-5, 312 pounds. Meanwhile, Brailsford is listed at 6-2, 275 pounds. Brailsford is still a big human, but he’s around some behemoths. It’s not necessarily a good or bad thing to have a smaller center.
He ran primarily with the second group during the drills open to the media. While Proctor figures to have an inside track to win his starting left tackle job back that he manned all of last season, it makes sense that he has to earn it again and it won’t just be given to him. If or when Proctor wins back the left tackle job, it’s important the tackle who doesn’t win the right tackle job can be a swing tackle.Formby looked good at right tackle. He exploded off the ball well during drills.
