Finland native pushing for playing time at multiple positions

Sometimes, there are players that are overlooked on Alabama’s roster. On Tuesday, offensive tackle Wilkin Formby touched on which player he believes isn’t receiving as much attention as he may deserve.

“I think Olaus (Alinen) has stepped up. He’s playing in a different position,” Formby said, “He’s been playing a lot of tackle that he hasn’t necessarily been comfortable playing, but he’s doing a good job being where the coaches need him.”

Formby and Alinen were each a part of the 2023 recruiting class. Formby has played in 12 games and has three starts. Alinen has played in 17 games with no starts.
