What clicked for Yhonzae Pierre against Tennessee

Alabama football’s edge defender, Yhonzae Pierre had a coming-out party against the Tennessee Vols on Saturday night in Bryant-Denny Stadium.

Pierre finished the game with six total tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks. The former five-star took full advantage of an opportunity to have an expanded role in the game with both Qua Russaw and Jah-Marien Latham out.

The Tide’s head coach Kalen DeBoer praised the effort Pierre has put in as of late after the game.

“I’m really pleased with the last couple weeks what he’s done,” DeBoer said.
