Left Guard Battle Before Season Opener | Alabama Crimson Tide Football News

Alabama’s quarterback battle is settled with sophomore Keelon Russell taking the reins, while Luke Metz locks down inside linebacker. But the real suspense? Left guard remains up in the air as injured junior William Sanders returns, battling sophomore Mal Waldrep Jr., who’s dominated fall camp reps. With a new QB and a need for offensive line stability, the coaching staff wants consistency — and that decision might not be official until game day. Depth chart release? Likely before the season opener on Sept. 5 — or maybe even at Monday’s presser. The left guard spot could be the biggest storyline as Alabama faces East Carolina.
