Alabama veteran OL sighted at left tackle in Wednesday’s practice for South Florida

Alabama football has options at left tackle if Kadyn Proctor cannot go against South Florida.

Was an option unveiled from a photo via Wednesday’s practice for the Crimson Tide?

Tyler Booker, a junior offensive lineman, was sighted at left tackle in practice.

Chris Kapilovic, Alabama’s offensive line coach, said Booker can play any position up front. The former five-star took reps at center in the summer and left tackle in spring practice. He has marquee versatility, especially with his experience in high school playing outside as a tackle. Geno VanDeMark, a transfer from Michigan State, was inside Booker at left guard.

We will see if that becomes the look on Saturday versus the Bulls at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
