Alabama freshman LB, Chris Braswell displays exceptional vertical jump

After losing Terrell Lewis and Anfernee Jennings to the NFL Draft, Alabama signed four edge-rushing outside linebackers in its 2020 recruiting class. Each one will get an opportunity to play, especially with Nick Saban wanting to create pressure from all angles, but one is showing signs of elite verticality this offseason. Chris Braswell, a native of Baltimore, Md., hails from the powerhouse program that produced Eyabi Anoma: St. Frances Academy.

Off-field issued prevented Anoma from reaching his potential; however, success awaits Braswell at Alabama.

He was highly regarded as a major pass-rushing threat and garnered a five-star rating from Touchdown Alabama Magazine.
