Alabama will strap on helmets for the first time Thursday afternoon, beginning the long August march toward Sept. 3 when Utah State visits Bryant-Denny Stadium.
A college football offseason overflowing with off-the-field politicking will turn the corner toward actual sport this week.
Now are Jermaine Burton and Tyler Harrell the same kind of game-changer Williams became last fall? Great question. Sophomore JoJo Earle also has the explosive speed as seen a few times last year, mostly on punt returns -- only a few of which weren’t negated by penalties. Saban went as far on one of his radio shows to make a rare comparison when saying his game was likened to Jaylen Waddle’s. That’s a high bar and an equally high ceiling.
Alabama lost both starting offensive tackles in first-round pick Evan Neal and Chris Owens. A few formerly highly-rated recruits provided depth a year ago but that didn’t stop Alabama from signing Vanderbilt transfer Tyler Steen. Given the line of talent that Alabama’s produced protecting the blind side, Vanderbilt wouldn’t be the first guess as the source of Neal’s replacement.
Another name to remember is Tommy Brockermeyer, a five-star from the same class as Latham who saw limited action as a true freshman and wasn’t in the mix this spring. He entered the A-Day game in the fourth quarter at left tackle, making him third-string at best at that point.There’s no shortage of experience back even as Phidarian Mathis moved on to the NFL.
