Alex Leatherwood, No. 2 impact player for Alabama versus LSU

With this being the biggest week of the college football regular season, ESPN’s College Football GameDay has chosen to take in the Alabama-LSU matchup.

Both teams will square off on Saturday inside Bryant-Denny Stadium, as CBS Sports will have the call at 2:30 p.m.

In honor of the game, Touchdown Alabama Magazine is doing a series of the top five marquee players for the Crimson Tide against the Tigers.

The second most important player is offensive tackle, Alex Leatherwood.

Before they would get selected in their respective NFL Draft classes, players such as Andre Smith, James Carpenter, Barrett Jones, Cyrus Kouandjio, Cam Robinson and Jonah Williams all knew the importance of excelling at left tackle when Alabama played LSU in early November.
