Carroll Out Alabama Line Shuffles | Alabama Crimson Tide Football News

Alabama’s offensive line is in turmoil as steady right tackle Michael Carroll, their lone returning starter and key anchor, is now doubtful for the Kentucky game. With Carroll sidelined, the Tide must scramble — turning to transfer Ethan Fields (listed as the next man up at right guard) or versatile Nick Brooks (who’s been working at right tackle and even played left tackle in the opener). While Fields seems like the most logical fit for the vacant right guard spot, Brooks’ flexibility could sway the coaching staff. This shakeup threatens to disrupt a young line that relied heavily on Carroll’s consistency — and could spell trouble for Alabama’s run game against a tough Kentucky defense.
