Alabama received tough news this week, as reports have surfaced on five-star running back Trey Sanders sustaining a serious, season-ending foot injury. The mishap occurred at the Crimson Tide’s sixth session of fall camp on Thursday evening. A native of Port Saint Joe, Fla., Sanders proclaimed this year to be a Heisman-caliber one for him, but now he has to sit it out.
Despite the success he had in the offseason training program and the first few days of camp, redshirt freshman Jerome Ford becomes the next man up. The 5-foot-11, 212-pounder from Seffner, Fla., was a three-star prospect and the lone back Alabama signed in its 2018 class.
