Where does he fit in? Damieon George was far and away Alabama’s biggest addition (literally) in the 2020 recruiting class. At close to 6-7 and weighing 348 pounds, the Houston product has the physical makeup to be a starting offensive tackle.
More impressively, George moves well for a man his size, which is one of the reasons why the Alabama coaching staff felt he was worthy of a scholarship offer.
With Jedrick Wills Jr. already gone and Alex Leatherwood heading into his senior season, the depth at tackle needed to be replenished for 2021 and beyond. And George, while still needing some development with his technique and overall body physique, is capable of working “The Process” before ultimately contributing down the line.
