Nick Saban confirms freshman OL Tyler Booker is competing for a starting spot

The offensive line competition for Alabama has now extended through three weeks into the regular season as Nick Saban and Eric Wolford continue their evaluation.

Going into the season senior Kendall Randolph and junior Javion Cohen had been rotating in early on throughout the Crimson Tide’s first few games. Saban had previously mentioned that other senior guard Emil Ekiyor was viewed as a starter after he was not available during the opening drives against Utah State, leaving just one role left to fill up front.

But during Alabama’s game against ULM, there were a few shakeups in the competition.
