TUSCALOOSA, Ala.– Along with his trademark smile, acceleration in space and trio of children accompanying him during interviews, defensive lineman Isaiah Buggs was the other thing that former Alabama wide receiver Kenny Bell gave to the Crimson Tide’s program.
The two Louisiana natives constantly trained together prior to this year’s National Signing Day, and despite coming from Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College, Buggs is starting to make a name for himself.
As one of the nation’s elite junior college prospects, his previous career-high in tackles was four against Colorado State. In the absence of Da’Shawn Hand, the 293-pounder was exceptional versus Texas A&M – accounting for a team-best 10 tackles.
