Wilkin Formby went through some growing pains in his second game as a starting offensive tackle for Alabama.
The former four-star was called for holding four times in the Tide’s win. He was eventually taken out of the game and replaced by Elijah Pritchett.
Booker made sure his teammate knew he and the other members of the Alabama football family were still behind him after the game.
“First and foremost, I told him to not even look at social media because nobody really knows what’s going on,” Booker said. “If it’s not coming from somebody within this building, don’t even pay attention to it because everybody in this building has your best interest in mind. So, everybody on social media, they don’t matter. So don’t even look at it. As far as just lifting him up, just make sure Hayden learns from it and understands that there’s nothing he could do about last week, but he can control how he prepares this week to perform a lot better this coming weekend.”
Alabama travels to Wisconsin to take on the Badgers on the road this weekend.
