Fourth Alabama lineman accepts offer to Reese’s Senior Bowl

Alabama football has six players confirmed for the Reese’s Senior Bowl, including four linemen.

Tyler Steen, an offensive tackle, became the fourth lineman to accept his invitation for the exhibition in Mobile, Ala.

Steen, a graduate transfer from Vanderbilt, arrived on campus for the Crimson Tide in the summer. He earned the starting position at left tackle, posting 24 knockdown blocks. He assisted an offense that ranked fifth nationally in scoring (40.8) despite Alabama not making the College Football Playoff. The 6-foot-5, 315-pounder allowed 4.5 sacks, 10 quarterback pressures, eight quarterback hits, and committed three penalties. Steen made Offensive Player of the Week from the coaching staff against Vanderbilt, Arkansas, and Auburn; however, he needs to clean up his technique in pass protection.
