All signs point to Alabama football having an opportunity to play more reserves this weekend against Eastern Illinois.
With several young Alabama players expected to see some action on Saturday, here are five young players to watch out for:
5. QB Reese
Reese is an inside linebacker, who took a big step forward during the spring. Unfortunately for him, he has not been able to carve out a role in the Tide’s linebacker room due to several experienced linebackers lining up ahead of him. The Birmingham, Alabama, native has contributed on special teams for most of the season.
