Alabama experimenting with 5-Star freshman OL at different positions

Alabama football is using freshman offensive lineman, Michael Carroll at different positions during spring practice.

Carroll is a former five-star offensive lineman and a product of IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida. His ability to be physical and athletic at more than 300 pounds at 6-foot-6 opens the door for him to be effective at playing multiple positions across the offensive line.

Kalen DeBoer revealed Carroll took some reps at offensive tackle on Monday during the Crimson Tide’s first spring practice, but he is expected to play guard in the long run.

“He took some reps there today,” DeBoer said.
