He was a good special teams’ player, but as nice as he was in football, it is even better to witness Keith Holcombe locate his calling at the University of Alabama.
After fully committing to baseball in 2018, the Tuscaloosa native has become a polished hitter and stellar outfielder for a program that is 4-1 this season under coach Brad Bohannon.
Holcombe would probably been a late round pick or undrafted free agent – if he had stuck with football – however, baseball has positioned him with the chance to potentially be a first-round draft choice. The senior blasted his second home run of the young 2019 campaign on Friday in Alabama’s 7-1 win over Ball State at Sewell-Thomas Stadium.
