Quote Like a number of positions on Alabama's roster, the linebacker spot features a mix of reliable experienced players who comprise the first team and a slew of young, unproven underclassmen working behind them. Senior Nico Johnson, Alabama's leading returning tackler, said he's liked what he's seen from the new faces, particularly redshirt freshman Brent Calloway and early enrollees Ryan Anderson and Dillon Lee. "They are trying to learn everything," Johnson said. "That's the main thing. Catch on." Calloway, who is working with the inside linebackers, spent all of last season at running back, but never saw the field. The learning curve hasn't been as sharp as it would be for others, Johnson said, because Alabams's defense is similar to the one Calloway played at Russellville High. "He's just rolling," Johnson said.... Also: injury update and word on the kickers. :popcorn2: |
