A fall camp surge creates playing time for Tim Smith on Alabama’s defensive line

He was not listed as a starter on the depth chart, but his effort has created a chance for him to play.

Of the players Alabama football signed in its freshmen class, Timothy “Tim” Smith was one who garnered a lot of early conversation from local media pundits and Crimson Tide fans. People were very impressive with his game film from Sebastian (Fla.) River High School, as he displayed a burst and quickness that resembled Quinnen Williams from the 2018 campaign.

During his senior year, Smith had 62 tackles — including 32 for loss and 10 sacks.
