Jalen Milroe and Seth McLaughlin are enjoying more than just on the field success.

The Alabama Crimson Tide football team has enjoyed great success on the gridiron and in the classroom. The ladder was made evident on Tuesday when starting quarterback Jalen Milroe and starting center Seth McLaughlin were honored as College Sports Communicators Academic All-District team members.

The CSC honors student-athletes who achieve great success both on the field and in the classroom. Both Milroe and McLaughlin will now advance to the national ballot to be voted on by CSC members. First-, second-, and third-team Academic All-America honorees will be announced on Jan. 23, 2024.

Alabama football countdown to kickoff: 56 days

We are only 56 days away from the start of Alabama’s 2023 football season!

The Alabama Crimson Tide will take the field for the 2023 college football season in 56 days, as Middle Tennessee State visits Bryant Denny Stadium on Sept. 2.

Here at Roll Tide Wire, we will be counting down the days until Nick Saban and his team take the field.

Today, with just 56 days remaining, we will look at the current player who wears No. 56, [autotag]Seth McLaughlin[/autotag].

McLaughlin, a senior offensive lineman from Buford, Georgia, has been a staple along the Alabama offensive line for the past couple of seasons. Seth is expected to be the Crimson Tide’s starting center in 2023.

Alabama Football: 5 overlooked players heading into the 2023 season

These five Alabama football players are being undervalued heading into the 2023 college football season!

Before you know it, the 2023 college football season will be here. Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide will take the field on Sept. 2 against the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders to begin its quest for another national championship.

As we navigate the perpetual offseason, most of the talk leading up to the college football season, relative to the Crimson Tide, is the ongoing quarterback battle in Tuscaloosa.

Instead of bogging you down with continuous quarterback talk, let’s take a few moments and look at some of the players on the roster who are not receiving quite the notoriety that they deserve.

Below is a list of five players that I believe are being slept on leading up to the 2023 season!

Post-spring depth chart projections for Alabama’s offensive line

Projecting Alabama’s offensive line depth post-spring!

Now that spring football has officially wrapped up and the 2023 NFL draft is complete, it is time to shift our focus to the offseason.

Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide have a ton of questions marks exiting spring and fans are chomping at the bit for answers.

So as we dive into the dog days of summer, I thought we could take a look, position by position, and project the possible depth chart for the 2023 Alabama football team post-spring.

We have already taken a look at the quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends and today we will wrap up the offensive side of the ball with the offensive line!

Everything Nick Saban said following Alabama’s fifth spring practice

“I’m not pleased with where we are. I’m not disappointed in where we are,” says Nick Saban following Alabama’s fifth spring practice!

The Alabama football team wrapped up its fifth spring practice on Thursday afternoon on the Thomas-Drew Fields. The practice would complete week two of spring football for the Tide and now we are only just three weeks away from the annual A-Day Game from Bryant-Denny Stadium.

Following Thursday’s two-hour practice, Crimson Tide head coach [autotag]Nick Saban[/autotag] would make his way to the podium to speak to members of the media about how the spring festivities are going.

Coach Saban would speak on the progress his team is making as well as honor the late Mal Moore who passed away ten years ago on Thursday.

Here is everything coach Saban had to say!

Position Breakdown: Alabama’s OL ahead of spring practice

A deep dive into the Alabama offensive line ahead of spring practice!

We are now less than a week away from [autotag]Nick Saban[/autotag] and the Alabama football team taking the practice field to begin spring ball.

As is the case each offseason, there are many questions that need to be answered before the Tide hit the field to start the 2023 season.

As spring practice creeps closer, we are going to break down each position group on both sides of the ball. We have already looked at the quarterbacks, running backs, defensive line, tight ends, outside linebackers, inside linebackers, and wide receivers, and defensive backs.

Today we will wrap up our position breakdowns with the offensive line.

Alabama football coaches recognize 12 players following Iron Bowl win over Auburn

Nick Saban and his staff selected 12 total players as players of the week following Alabama’s 49-27 win over Auburn in the Iron Bowl.

On Monday, following Alabama’s 49-27 win over their arch-rivals the Auburn Tigers, the Crimson Tide coaching staff selected a total of 12 members of the team as players of the week.

On offense, the coaching staff selected a total of seven players including star quarterback [autotag]Bryce Young[/autotag] who accumulated over 300 yards passing on the day. The coaching staff also recognized all of the starting offensive linemen including Tyler Booker who splits time at guard with Javion Cohen.

The defense was represented by Will Anderson and Brian Branch while Ja’Corey Brooks, James Burnip, and Emmanuel Henderson got the nod with their roles on special teams.

Here is what the coaching staff credited each player with on Alabama’s official website rolltide.com.

INJURY REPORT: The latest ahead of Alabama’s Week 1 matchup against Utah State

Roll Tide Wire takes a look at Alabama’s injury report heading into week one’s matchup with the Utah State Aggies.

During fall practices, Alabama suffered a few injuries to key positions, such as wide receiver and cornerback.

Sophomore JoJo Earle suffered a fractured foot during fall practice. Along with Earle, incoming transfer Tyler Harrell has been recovering from a sprained foot, which Coach Saban mentioned during his press conference this past week.

Several other Alabama players were listed on the latest injury report that was posted by Tide Illustrated’s Tony Tsoukalas. The three that were mentioned in Tsoukalas’s tweet were Seth McLaughlin, Eli Ricks, and Khyree Jackson.

Eli Ricks has been dealing with a lingering back injury. However, Coach Saban said in his presser that he dressed out and warmed up during Alabama’s second scrimmage on July 20. On the other hand, Khyree Jackson has been nursing a groin injury, but Coach Saban did mention that he was available and participated in the second scrimmage.

Seth McLaughlin served primarily as the backup center until starting center Darrian Dalcourt suffered an injury late in the season. Although McLaughlin was expected by many to be the starting center in week one, that does not appear to be the case. Coach Saban mentioned that he did not participate in the latest scrimmage.

Roll Tide Wire will keep you updated on Alabama football’s injury report heading into this week’s matchup against Utah State.

Projected Alabama’s starting offensive line at the start of spring practice

A lot can change between now and A-Day, but let’s predict Alabama’s starting offensive line as spring practice begins.

Nick Saban and the Alabama football team began spring practice on Friday afternoon and one of the biggest question marks entering spring is the offensive line.

With just one practice completed, there isn’t any real significant information to use to try and predict how the starting offensive line will look this spring.

So this prediction is simply an educated guess. Truth be told, this prediction is likely to change before spring practice has been completed. All of us will know a lot more about this unit come April 16 when Alabama will host its annual “A-Day” game.

For now, here are my projections.

Alabama Football: 5 position groups to watch this spring

Alabama Football: 5 position groups to watch this spring

Although Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide were not able to claim a national championship this past season, the 2021 team still accomplished quite a bit.

The Tide won the SEC Championship and finished with an impressive 13-2 record and Bryce Young became the first Alabama quarterback to win the Heisman Trophy.

Now that the season has come to an end, let’s shift our focus to spring practice and which position groups Alabama fans should be watching when the Tide returns to practice in a couple of months.
