Alabama football’s safety, Ivan Taylor has moved up to the Crimson Tide’s second team defense ahead of the LSU game.

Taylor is a true freshman and a former four-star recruit out of Florida. He is listed as Alabama’s second-string strong safety ahead of its clash with the Tigers. The freshman moving up comes after Dre Kirkpatrick Jr. was suspended ‘indefinitely’ after getting arrested.

The 6-foot, 194-pounder has mainly been a contributor on special teams during his first season with the Crimson Tide.
