CFB analyst speaks highly of Alabama’s interior offensive line

Alabama’s offensive line means business in 2024.

A lot of Alabama Crimson Tide football fans are aware of how good the interior offensive line unit can be this season. Pro Football Focus college football analyst Max Chadwick recently acknowledged Alabama’s interior offensive line by saying, “This might be the best interior offensive line that I’ve ever seen.”

Chadwick and many others focus specifically on studying and grading various players across the country. It sounds like Chadwick has done his homework on the Crimson  Tide’s interior offensive line.

Rising junior Tyler Booker is the anchor of the Alabama offensive line at left guard. Booker has been a key piece of the Crimson Tide’s offensive line unit the past two seasons. He is expected to be a first-round draft pick in the 2025 NFL draft.

Redshirt junior Jaeden Roberts will play opposite of Booker at right guard. Roberts was overlooked during his first few seasons with the Crimson Tide, However, he made his presence known during his redshirt sophomore season. Roberts has impressive size at 6-foot-5 and 316 pounds. He will be counted on as a leader during the 2024-2025 season.

Lastly, the Crimson Tide brought in one of the top centers in college football in Washington Huskies transfer Parker Brailsford. The Arizona native was the anchor of a Washington offensive line that won the Joe Moore Award — recognizes the top offensive line unit in college football.

Chadwick has some good supporting information to support his claim. It will be interesting to see if Chadwick is right. Alabama fans are also eager to see how the interior offensive line creates holes for the running backs as well as how they will protect Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe.

PFF’s Max Chadwick see’s a bright future for Aggies’ QB Conner Weigman

Texas A&M quarterback Conner Weigman is on track to dominate the college football landscape, if he stays healthy

This offseason, any news surrounding Texas A&M outside of recruiting or potentially adding depth at multiple position groups will be focused on Aggies’ starting quarterback, Conner Weigman, who will be less than a year removed from his season-ending injury last fall.

This spring, head coach Mike Elko, who helped recruit Weigman to College Station during his time as A&M’s defensive coordinator (2018-2021), has kept the same tone regarding Conner’s continued progress. The redshirt sophomore played in the Maroon & White spring game but avoided taking any chances outside the pocket.

Last week, Elko, during his appearance at the Brazos Valley A&M Coach’s night, placed a hypothetical seal on the Conner Weigman health discourse, stating,

“Conner. Will. Be. Fine. … He was able to get a lot of good quality work in. He’ll get a lot better by the time we show up for Notre Dame.”

Yes, less than four months from Texas A&M’s season opener vs. Notre Dame on Aug. 31, Weigman should be completely healthy, barring any random setbacks. However, if he is to capitalize on his early-season success last season after throwing for nearly 1,000 yards and eight touchdowns in the first four contests, the offensive line and the wide receiver unit will need to drastically improve.

On Saturday, Pro Football Focus’s Max Chadwick commented on Weigman’s NFL future. The talented signal caller could be eligible for the 2025 NFL draft only if he puts it all together this season and, most importantly, stays on the field.

“If he can build off the few games we saw in 2023, he can be a dark-horse QB 1 candinate next April.”

With Jimbo Fisher and his complicated scheme officially out the door, this is a fresh start for Weigman to establish himself as the top signal-caller again, not only in the SEC but the entire country.
