This week is the final week of spring practice for the Crimson Tide, culminating with A-Day at noon on Saturday. Although there is no spring game this year, there will be some sort of practice for fans to view. If you are hoping to watch A-Day, you will have to travel to Saban Field at Bryant Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa because it will not be televised. Even without a scrimmage game, there are plenty of position battles to watch.<\/p>\n
QUARTERBACK – Obvious. Right? Despite any videos you may have seen, Ty Simpson appears to have a healthy lead over Austin Mack and Keelon Russell. <\/p>\n
WIDE RECEIVER – Isaiah Horton<\/strong> might just be the missing piece of this corps. There has been a great deal of buzz around him this spring. True freshman Lotzeir Brooks<\/strong> has been generating a lot of hype as well. At 6-5, fellow frosh Derek Meadows<\/strong> will be an interesting experiment. Is Jalen Hale<\/strong> healthy? Also of interest is Jaylen Mbakwe<\/strong> who made a position move in the off-season. <\/p>\n A few things here:<\/p>\n 1) Arkel Anugwom LOOKS like an NFL offensive tackle. 6-6, 330 with those tree trunks for arms \u200d <\/p>\n 2) Great seeing Proctor coach up freshman Jackson Lloyd. Likely your present and future left tackles.<\/p>\n 3) Mal Waldrep getting snaps as the third LT. Good in pass\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/v7eUTnOQH4<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Clint Lamb (@ClintRLamb) March 5, 2025<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n TACKLE – Kadyn Proctor (black jersey #74) is nursing injuries and Wilkin Formby <\/strong>is the only other truly experienced tackle participating this spring. Olaus Alinen<\/strong> is hoping to make a move, but it is freshman Jackson Lloyd<\/strong> (#78) who has been turning heads. Young and inexperienced Ball State transfer Arkel Anugwom<\/strong> (#78) is an intriguing addition.<\/p>\n GUARD – Jaeden Roberts seems to have a lukewarm hold on the right guard position but the left side vacated by Tyler Booker is wide open. Geno VanDeMark<\/strong> seems the obvious heir but it won\u2019t be easy. Kam Dewberry<\/strong> (#71) from Texas A&M<\/a> will have something to say about it. And then there is 5-star frosh Michael Carroll<\/strong> who some are calling a generational talent.<\/p>\n TIGHT END – Coach Kalen DeBoer made what he hopes is a diamond-in-the-rough move by bringing in Peter Knudson<\/strong> from Weber State. With projected starter Josh Cuevas, potential No. 2 Danny Lewis, and freshman Marshall Pritchett all out for the rest of the spring due to injuries, it is looking like a genius move. Can Knudson take advantage of the situation and prove he deserves playing time this fall?<\/p>\n RUNNING BACK – One position that has been pretty quiet is running back. It is assumed that Jam Miller will get the nod, but ULL senior transfer Dre\u2019lyn \u201cDre\u201d Washington<\/strong> wasn\u2019t brought in just for depth.<\/p>\n Besides quarterback, who are you looking forward to seeing in crimson and white?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
