Alabama true freshman, Jaylen Mbakwe is carving out quite the niche for himself early in his Crimson Tide career.
The former five-star and Pinson, Alabama native has taken snaps on defense throughout the Tide’s first three games. He has also been Alabama’s primary punt returner due to Cole Adams missing time after sustaining an upper-body injury. Mbakwe has shown flashes in both areas, stepping up when his number is called.
The freshman met with media after Alabama’s Friday practice and discussed what his transition has been like, just three games into his college career.
“Basically I’m just playing wherever they need me at,” Mbakwe said.
