As we continue through the offseason, Roll Tide Wire has decided to bring fans a quick snapshot of each scholarship player listed on Alabama’s 2020 football roster.
Each day, we’ll release two player profiles giving fans a glimpse into the players who will be available this upcoming season. Whether that’s size, classification, hometowns or recruiting rankings coming out of high school, we’ve got you covered.
Also included in each article is a quick recap letting you know what to expect from that player for the upcoming 2020 season and beyond.
Next up on the list is freshman linebacker Jackson Bratton out of Muscle Shoals (Ala.).
Jackson Bratton, Inside Linebacker
Height: 6-3 / Weight: 233
Class: Freshman
Hometown: Muscle Shoals (Ala.)
High School: Muscle Shoals High School
HS ranking (247Sports): 4-star / No. 155 overall / No. 10 ILB / No. 5 ALA
HS ranking (Rivals): 4-star / No. 243 overall / No. 15 ILB / No. 10 ALA
Analysis: Jackson Bratton was an underrated addition to Alabama’s 2020 recruiting class. The four-star linebacker filled a future need with Dylan Moses and Joshua McMillon both presumably entering their last seasons in Tuscaloosa.
Bratton brings size (6-foot-3, 233 pounds) and block shedding ability to the position, but his biggest strength is that he always seems to be around the football. In other words, his instincts allow him to be a step ahead most of the time.
More than likely, Bratton will take a redshirt season in 2020 before trying to crack the rotation next season.
