JC Latham has been impressive for Alabama on the offensive line in his second season.
The former five-star from Wisconsin came to the Crimson Tide via IMG Academy in the 2021 recruiting class.
Latham earned Alabama’s starting job at right tackle in preseason camp. The 6-foot-6, 326-pounder has looked dominant all season and got highlighted by Pro Football Focus for his efforts in performance. According to PFF, Latham has not allowed a sack and ranks in the top five among offensive tackles for pass-block grade (89.8, second) and allowed pressure rate (0.7, first).
