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 redshirt freshman defensive lineman Braylen Ingraham out of Fort Lauderdale (Fla.).
Braylen Ingraham, Defensive Line
Height: 6-4 / Weight: 291
Class: Redshirt Freshman
Hometown: Fort Lauderdale (Fla.)
High School: St. Thomas Aquinas High School
HS ranking (247Sports): 4-star / No. 164 overall / No. 10 SDE / No. 22 FL
HS ranking (Rivals): 4-star / No. 242 overall / No. 20 SDE/ No. 29 FL
Analysis: Braylen Ingraham took advantage of the NCAA rule that allows players to participate in up to four games while still being able to redshirt, as he saw action against Ole Miss and Western Carolina.
The former top 200 prospect, according to the 247Sports composite rankings, is a talented player who could stand to add more strength and bulk to his frame. But with that being said, he did take advantage of his limited game reps by notching four tackles.
Can he make a bigger impact in Year 2? That remains to be seen, as other players such as Christian Barmore, DJ Dale, LaBryan Ray, Phidarian Mathis, Byron Young and Justin Eboigbe are all still head of him on the depth chart. In addition, freshman five-star Tim Smith should be arriving on campus at some point in the near future.
Ingraham is a player who might have to continue to sit and wait for a couple more seasons, but he should have every chance to eventually become a starter at some point before his career is over.
