In one of few times in Nick Saban’s tenure at Alabama, he has an offensive line that has experience, depth, talent and strong coaching. While his first couple of units were solid, this year’s offensive line has the potential to be Saban’s best one for the Crimson Tide.
Along with returning Alex Leatherwood and Jedrick Wills at both tackle spots, the team has five players that excel inside at either guard or center. The combination of Landon Dickerson, Chris Owens, Evan Neal, Matt Womack, Emil Ekiyor and Deonte Brown (serving four-game suspension, NCAA violation) in rotation has Alabama fans excited for the season.
