The latest on Alabama right tackle position battle ahead of season opener

Alabama football’s battle at right tackle looks as if it will still be in the air until Saturday.

Wilkin Formby and Elijah Pritchett have battled at the position throughout fall camp. However, Alabama wants to keep who will line up at the position Saturday under wraps.

The Tide’s offensive coordinator Nick Sheridan expressed confidence in both players on Monday.

“I feel very confident in both of them as far as what that’ll look like to start the game and throughout the game,” Sheridan said. “We’ll wait till Saturday before we let the opponent know exactly what that’ll look like, but they both have had very good camps. They’ve had very good moments and we’re excited about it.”

Alabama welcomes Western Kentucky to Bryant-Denny Stadium Saturday to kick off the season.
