Jordan Battle confirms Tyler Harrell’s speed at SEC Media Days: “He’s has the speed to take the top off defenses.”

We have to wait for the fun dance competition between Jordan Battle and Tyler Harrell, but the veteran safety wasted no time alerting opposing defenses on the challenge that awaits them in the fall.

Battle, a senior from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., has faced some of the best wide receivers in practice at Alabama. He came in the 2019 recruiting class as a four-star and has battled Jerry Jeudy, Henry Ruggs III, DeVonta Smith, Jaylen Waddle, Jameson Williams, and John Metchie. Battle is now getting challenged by a fellow South Florida native in Harrell, and his explosiveness is real.
