With Cameron Robinson recovering from shoulder surgery and Ross Pierschbacher moving to center, Alabama continues to shuffle its offensive line in spring practice.
Reserve lineman Bradley Bozeman is one of few players getting an opportunity at a starting role. Bozeman, a rising junior, saw action in 15 games last season at both guard and center.
He battled Alphonse Taylor and Ross Pierschbacher for a role at both guard positions in 2015, but ultimately loss. The 6-foot-5, 312-pound lineman was seen at left guard during practice last week, taking reps with the Crimson Tide’s first-team unit.
He played in nine games as a redshirt freshman in 2014, making two starts against Arkansas and Texas A&M. Bozeman graded out at 90 percent against Texas A&M, blocking for 298 rushing yards and did not allow a sack. He enrolled at Alabama in 2013 as a four-star prospect from Handley High School in Roanoke, Ala.
