One Alabama linebacker is gearing to make an impact on defense in the coming weeks.
After battling injuries early on in the season, redshirt freshman Yhonzae Pierre is ready to see increased snaps at the WOLF position. In the past two weeks, Alabama has lost two outside “WOLF” linebackers. Graduate senior Que Robinson suffered a season-ending injury against LSU. Redshirt junior Keanu Koht was suspended and subsequently entered the transfer portal earlier this week.
Pierre is a former five-star edge rusher out of Eufaula High School in Eufaula, Alabama. Coming out of high school, he held 19 total offers.
