Alabama’s offense is averaging 48.3 points through four games, but it has yet to get in sync.
Bryce Young led a game-winning drive against Texas and the wide receivers got on the same page versus Vanderbilt, but a defensive player has been an unsung hero in jump-starting the Crimson Tide’s offense. Kool-Aid McKinstry, a sophomore cornerback, was an electric receiver and return specialist at Pinson (Ala.) Valley High School. As a native of Birmingham, Ala., McKinstry won three Class 6A state championships before coming to the Tide. He has a knack for creating marquee plays with vision, speed, and athleticism on punt returns.
