Alabama offensive lineman Wilkin Formby is entering his redshirt sophomore season with the Crimson Tide. One player that has been alongside Formby throughout his college career is redshirt senior Jaeden Roberts.
Formby detailed what it is like to play alongside Roberts on Tuesday.
“A lot of people don’t realize we’ve been playing with each for so long because when I first got here he was with the 2’s. We were playing with each other a lot during spring and during fall camp,” Formby said, “It’s awesome playing next to J-Rob. We got good chemistry. He brings that energy.”
Roberts has a strong shot at being named the starting right guard this season. As for Formby, he is vying for the starting spot at right tackle.
In 2024, Formby made two starts for the Crimson Tide at right tackle. Roberts made 12 starts at right guard.
It will be interesting to see if Formby and Roberts are the anchors of Alabama’s offensive line on the right side this season. Both linemen have been putting in the work this offseason to ensure that they each have the best opportunity to start in 2025.
