Alabama football held its first scrimmage of the fall inside Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday morning.
The scrimmage was closed to the public and media, but head coach Kalen DeBoer spoke with the media afterward, and Alabama released a few pictures and videos from the scrimmage.
Here are some takeaways from Saturday morning in Bryant-Denny.
Nick Saban wasn’t exactly an open book with the media, but DeBoer kept things very vague after the Crimson Tide’s first fall scrimmage.
If you skim through DeBoer’s transcript, you’d be hard pressed to find any specifics about how any one player or position group performed in the scrimmage.
He only mentioned three players by name (Jalen Milroe, Jam Miller and Justice Haynes), and two of those three were specifically asked about by reporters.
DeBoer also did not provide any details on injuries, just saying that the team is “relatively healthy” and dealing with “typical fall camp stuff.”
Alabama’s biggest position battles heading into fall camp are at right tackle and cornerback. Kadyn Proctor has seemingly won back the job at left tackle after spending the spring at Iowa.
Redshirt freshman Wilkin Formby has been with the first team offensive line at right tackle during practice, but he and redshirt sophomore Elijah Pritchett are still rotating reps at the spot.
USC transfer Domani Jackson has locked up one of the starting corner spots, but Wake Forest transfer DaShawn Jones, Jaylen Mbakwe and Zabien Brown are all still in the mix to be one of the other starters at corner.
