Alabama looking to ‘create roles’ for receiver Tyler Harrell down the stretch

Alabama fans were happy to finally see Tyler Harrell on the field against Mississippi State, but is this a sign of things to come for the transfer wide receiver from Louisville?

He caught one pass for 12 yards versus the Bulldogs at Bryant-Denny Stadium, but Coach Nick Saban updated reporters on the speedster during his meeting at the Monday Morning Quarterback Club. Harrell, a South Florida native, came to the Crimson Tide in the summer. He suffered a foot injury before arriving on campus, but he was an electric weapon for the Cardinals.

The 6-foot, 194-pounder totaled 20 catches for 559 yards and six touchdowns in 17 games for Louisville.
