As is the case every offseason, there are lots of questions that should be answered earlier than the Tide hit the sector to start out the 2023 season.
As spring follow creeps nearer, we’re going to break down every place group on each side of the ball. Now we have already seemed on the quarterbacks, operating backs, defensive position, tight ends, outdoors linebackers, inside linebackers, and vast receivers, and defensive backs.
As we speak we’ll wrap up our place breakdowns with the offensive line.
Let’s roll!

Alabama can be changing the veteran management of Tyler Steen and Emil Ekiyor Jr. alongside this offensive line this spring. Each Steen and Ekiyor are NFL caliber gamers so changing them is not going to be simple for the Tide, however with the emphasis on offensive line recruiting over the previous couple of recruiting cycles, Alabama may have loads of choices to discover.

Tide followers must be proud of the truth that Alabama returns some actually good expertise alongside the offensive line led by junior deal with JC Latham. The Tide additionally returns its beginning middle in Seth McLaughlin and the super-sophomore Tyler Booker who’s a roadgrader from his guard place. Veteran Darrian Dalcourt can also be set to return to compete for a spot.

Alabama hauled in a powerful offensive line class in 2023 and perhaps probably the most noticeable trait of the signees is the scale all of them possess. Every participant is effectively over 300 kilos and can carry a ton of physicality to the offensive line this spring. 5-star Kadyn Proctor is the almost definitely of the group to earn early vital taking part in time. Proctor is a large freshman, standing at 6’7″ and 354 kilos.
What to look at for

Kadyn Proctor
As I simply talked about, Proctor has an opportunity to make an early influence for the Tide and whereas his future is probably going at deal with, we might see him begin at one of many guard spots very like some former five-stars have carried out, comparable to Evan Neal and JC Latham.

There was no official phrase that JC Latham can be making the change from proper deal with to left this season, however simply following Saban’s historical past, this can be a fairly strong educated guess. Nonetheless, I imagine the 2 tackles this spring can be Latham and Elijah Pritchett, a redshirt freshman with a really shiny future. This group has an opportunity to revive the bodily mantra that the Alabama offensive line as soon as held and I imagine they may finally be one of many strengths of this Alabama staff.
