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 sophomore punter Ty Perine out of Prattville (Ala.).
Ty Perine, Punter
Class: Sophomore
Hometown: Prattville (Ala.)
High School: Prattville High School
HS ranking (247Sports): 0-star / N/A overall / N/A / N/A
HS ranking (Rivals): 0-star / N/A overall / N/A / N/A
Analysis: Ty Perine became an Alabama fan-favorite through his first season in Tuscaloosa. After seeing inconsistencies at the punter position with Skyler DeLong, Perine assumed the starting role during the Tennessee game and displayed a strong leg.
The issue with Perine, like is most cases with young legs, was consistency, and the hope is that he can hone his craft during the offseason to become a more reliable option consistently.
But considering he went from being a somewhat unknown walk-on outside of the Prattville area to being named Freshman All-SEC by the Coaches, Perine has proven that he’s capable of improvement and surprising people, so don’t be surprised if he turns some heads during Year 2.
