The Alabama offensive line got a big boost when Kadyn Proctor rejoined the Crimson Tide, but how will the rest of the position group shake out this fall?
The uncertainty surrounding Alabama's offensive line in the spring lessened when left tackle Kadyn Proctor decided to transfer back to Alabama and rejoin the program in the summer. The Crimson Tide also returns starters at both guard spots with Tyler Booker on the left side and Jaeden Roberts at right guard. However, there are question marks at both center and right tackle heading into fall camp, which opens up on Wednesday.
James Brockermeyer took the first-team snaps at center throughout the spring, but then transferred to TCU. DeBoer expects Brailsford to be fully back with the team in the fall, and he will likely win the starting center job. Summer transfer Geno VanDeMark, who played under new offensive line coach Chris Kapilovic, could serve as a backup option if Brailsford isn't ready to go.
Alabama finished 129th out of 133 teams in the country with 49 sacks allowed last season. Part of the high number was due to protection issues along the offensive line, while some of the blame went to quarterback Jalen Milroe's decision making and sometimes holding on to the ball too long. Either way, that number is too high.
