Emil Ekiyor is viewed ‘as a starter’ for Alabama on its offensive line, per Nick Saban

During his presser on Wednesday, Nick Saban unveiled another starter or potential starter for Alabama football on its offensive line.

For a group that is flooded with experience and talent, Emil Ekiyor Jr. has emerged as one of seven players that Saban views as starters up front. Only five guys can be on the field at one time, but Saban looks at Ekiyor as one of those individuals.

He performed very well at right guard in the final scrimmage of preseason camp, helping the running backs have a strong outing and protecting all three quarterbacks to have great numbers.
