Nick Saban complemented the play of Alabama’s freshman reserved offensive lineman, Tyler Booker, during Wednesday’s SEC coaches teleconference.
Booker was rated as a five-star recruit coming out of IMG Academy. He has earned playing time at guard in every game this season for the Crimson Tide. The Connecticut native has not allowed a sack, and he has yet to commit a penalty through eight games.
Saban feels the freshman gives the Crimson Tide a third starter at guard.
“We play him quite a bit,” Saban said. We kind of rotate three guards in the game because we think we have three starters at that position.
