Derrick Henry and Kenyan Drake were the first two running backs in line for drills throughout the spring, two veterans already long established as threats within Alabama' offense.
Redshirt freshman Ronnie Clark was consistently third in line for the duration of the spring after freshman Bo Scarbrough suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament that will likely keep him from practicing until at least the fall.
The combination of Altee Tenpenny's transfer, Tyren Jones' dismissal and Scarbrough's injury has created an increased opportunity for playing time for young running backs such as Clark and freshmen Damien Harris and DeSherrius Flowers.
