The Alabama Crimson Tide will take the field for the 2023 college football season in 44 days, as Middle Tennessee State visits Bryant Denny Stadium on Sept. 2.
Here at Roll Tide Wire, we will be counting down the days until Nick Saban and his team take the field.
Today, with just 44 days remaining until kickoff, we will take a look at redshirt sophomore defensive lineman Damon Payne Jr. who currently wears No. 44 for the Crimson Tide.
Payne saw his playing time increase towards the second half of the 2022 season and should see his role increase once again in 2023.
Payne totaled seven tackles and 0.5 tackles for loss in 2022.
