Senior defensive back Tony Brown is usually the first to celebrate when Minkah Fitzpatrick, Ronnie Harrison, Hootie Jones or any other member of Alabama’s secondary makes a play.
So, it came as no surprise that after cornerback Anthony Averett recorded his first career interception he would be knocked to the ground by Brown. The first of hopefully many picks came last week versus Fresno State at Bryant-Denny Stadium, as the New Jersey native was credited with getting the lone turnover of the contest.
Averett turned in four tackles in the Crimson Tide’s 41-10 win over the Bulldogs, but his consistent production has been a carryover from last season.
