Seth McLaughlin showed his skills at the center position in 2021.
He earned the trust of coaches, teammates, and fans for his performances in marquee matchups against Auburn, Georgia (SEC Championship), Cincinnati (CFP Semifinal), and the Bulldogs again (CFP National Championship). McLaughlin did not allow a sack in four games, and he pushed the Crimson Tide to three victories. He played in ten games — including three starts — with 310 snaps.
