Alabama Football Film Room: Emil Ekiyor has a chance to crack the starting line-up

Alabama is fortunate only needing to replace one offensive lineman with just right tackle Jedrick Wills leaving. Of course, that will likely lead to some shuffling, as Nick Saban likes to have his best five linemen out there and then make the exact positions fit.

Left guard Evan Neal seems likely to kick out to right tackle (similar to how Alex Leatherwood played guard as a freshman before moving to tackle). That would create a battle along the interior with Deonte Brown at one of the guard positions and Landon Dickinson at either center or guard.
