There has been a lot of uncertainty surrounding college football over the last couple of weeks, but as of right now, the season still looks like it’s a go for the SEC, ACC and Big 12.
So, what does that mean? It means that we can continue to Countdown to Kickoff en route to the Crimson Tide — and the rest of the SEC — getting things underway on Sept. 26.
With it now being Aug. 16, we are officially 41 days away from the start!
Five-star true freshman Chris Braswell, an outside linebacker from Baltimore (Md.), will wear the No. 41 for Alabama this upcoming season.
The last notable player to wear the number, however, is another edge player: former Tide standout Courtney Upshaw. After a successful career in Tuscaloosa, Upshaw ended up being a second-round pick to the Baltimore Ravens before winning a Super Bowl and spending time with the Atlanta Falcons (2016-17) and New York Jets (2018).
While they’re different players, the Alabama coaching staff has to be hoping that Braswell can become as impactful — or maybe more impactful — as Upshaw during his time at Alabama.
