Nick Saban on UA’s Shane Lee, Christian Harris: ‘They have been calling defenses’

Losing a next level player like Dylan Moses hurts, but this 2019 class has Nick Saban willing to gamble on two freshmen this season.

After news was confirmed on Moses sustaining a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) to his knee, Saban said he along with teammates, coaches and support staff members all met with the junior inside linebacker to encourage him. A native of Baton Rouge, La., the former five-star led the Crimson Tide in total tackles (85) in 2018 and posted 10 tackles for loss with 3.5 sacks.

Despite the pain, Saban knows it’s time to move forward and Duke requires his attention.
