Alabama defensive lineman, LT Overton showed up on the SEC Student-Athlete Availability Report and was listed as out ahead of the SEC Championship game against Georgia.

Kalen DeBoer confirmed Overton, as well as Kelby Collins, will not be available for the SEC Championship game because of ‘illnesses or medical issues.’ This creates a need for a player to step up on Saturday.

A guy who will see the field more because of the injuries is Keon Keeley, a 6-foot-5 282-pound sophomore.

“Guys like that, Keon continued to ramp up his role, someone who now, you know, we’ve really put out there and have full trust in,” DeBoer said.
