Former Alabama OL Matt Womack signs with the Edmonton Elks of the CFL

Former Alabama OL Matt Womack finds home in the CFL

Earlier today former Alabama offensive lineman Matt Womack was signed by the Edmonton Elk of the CFL.

Womack joined the Tide as a part of the 2015 recruiting class. Womack would redshirt in his first season in Tuscaloosa. Womack would then go on to appear in 41 total games including 15 starts in his time at Alabama.

Standing at 6’7″, 325 pounds, Womack definitely looks the part of a professional offensive lineman.

Womack made the announcement of his signing on his Twitter page earlier this afternoon.

Alabama football countdown: 77 days until kickoff

We are only 77 days from Alabama football kicking off its season against the USC Trojans at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Alabama is set to kick off its season against the USC Trojans at AT&T Stadium in Arlington (Tex.) on Sept. 5. As long as COVID-19 doesn’t alter the schedule, it will be the first time the Crimson Tide has faced USC since the dominate 52-6 win back in 2016.

With it now being June 20, that means we’re only 77 days away from football season officially being back!

After coming up just short of making its fifth-consecutive College Football Playoff experience, Alabama will look to bounce back in 2020 with a strong roster and returning coaching staff.

No one currently wears the No. 77 for the Crimson Tide, but Matt Womack, a long-time player who was a starter at one point during his career, wore it last season.
