Nick Saban updates progress of Alabama WR Tyler Harrell, two freshmen for this season

Alabama fans have asked about Tyler Harrell since he arrived on campus in the summer.

As a transfer from Louisville, the elite speedster has explosive abilities at wide receiver.

He creates separation from defensive backs and is dynamic in space. Harrell, a South Florida native, averaged 29.1 yards per catch and tallied six touchdowns last year for the Cardinals. Coach Nick Saban told reporters earlier in fall camp that he wants to see Harrell channel his energy the right way, but he explained more on Wednesday as to why Harrell was not getting more reps.
