The return of college football is quickly approaching, folks. After yet another national championship winning season, Nick Saban and company will be looking for a repeat performance in 2021.
Despite key losses, the Crimson Tide is well positioned to do just that.
The opening week matchup is against the Miami Hurricanes in Atlanta, Ga. set for Sept. 4. And with it now being July 14, we are now only 52 days away from the start of the season!
This will be the third season that now redshirt sophomore defensive lineman Braylen Ingraham has worn the No. 52 for Alabama. After spending his first couple of seasons working in a limited, rotational role, the 6-foot-4, 289-pounder is now looking to move into a more consistent role.
He’ll be facing steep competition along the Crimson Tide’s defensive front, however. As a former four-star, top-200 prospect, Ingraham has the talent to compete though.
Another player who has worn the number during the Saban era is former offensive lineman Alfred McCullough out of Athens High School in north Alabama. He wore it from 2008-12.

We are only 52 days from Alabama football kicking off its season. With the cancelled USC game, we’re just not sure who the opponent with be.
Alabama’s opening week game against the USC Trojans at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, has been cancelled after the Pac-12 announced its teams would play a conference-only schedule in 2020.
Yes, that was unfortunate news, and, yes, that means the Crimson Tide is looking for a new opponent to open its season on Sept. 5, but as of right now, that is still the target date to open the season. Until that changes, we’ll continue the countdown to kickoff.
With it now being July 15, we are officially 52 days away from the start!

Braylen Ingraham, Defensive Line

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.
