Alabama countdown to kickoff: 55 days

We are just Emil Ekiyor days away from the start of Alabama’s 2022 football season.

The Alabama Crimson Tide will take the field for the 2022 college football season in 55 days, as Utah State visits Bryant Denny Stadium on Sept. 3.

This will be Alabama’s first season-opener at home in quite some time, as the 18-time national champs are usually selected for a nationally televised kickoff game at a neutral site against a big-time opponent.

Here at Roll Tide Wire, we will be counting down the days until [autotag]Nick Saban[/autotag] and his team takes the field.

Today, with just 55 days remaining, we will look at one of Alabama’s current starting offensive linemen, [autotag]Emil Ekiyor[/autotag].

Ekiyor has started 29 games for the Crimson Tide, including 15 during the 2021 season. The senior is set to anchor the offensive line during the 2022 season.
