Alabama football’s starting center, Parker Brailsford provided some insight on the Tide’s competition at left guard on Thursday.
Tyler Booker started at left guard for Alabama in 12 games during the 2024 season before he announced he was entering the NFL Draft.
The Tide are now looking for a replacement for Booker, and Geno VanDeMark, Kam Dewberry and Olaus Alinen are names to now, per Brailsford.
“I know they’re like newer guys, but they still played a lot of ball, and they’re both really smart,” said Brailsford. “Even Olaus is, all three of them. They’re all going to be battling for it.
