Special Teams

This one is just for fun. Alabama football ranked 122nd in extra points percentage and tied for dead last at 130th in average punt yards. Well the number one kicker in ESPN’s 2019 recruiting class (Will Reichard) is headed to Tuscaloosa next season. Any chance he can kick field goals and punt?!

Next. Alabama's last five SEC titles. dark

Final Thought

There is no doubting that the Alabama football team returns enough talent on offense and defense to make another run at a National Championship next season. Will the new players be able to replicate the historic 2018 offensive season and improve the defense which struggled down the stretch of the season?
