Johnny Dwight’s patience is about to pay dividends.
Like all other high prized defensive linemen, choosing to play at the University of Alabama comes with waiting behind others that desire an opportunity. Nick Saban has developed a multitude of monsters that became NFL Draft picks – including Jonathan Allen, A’Shawn Robinson, Jarran Reed, Da’Ron Payne, Dalvin Tomlinson and Terrence Cody to name a few.
While no one questions the leadership of Raekwon Davis and Isaiah Buggs on the defensive front, seeing Dwight finally get his chance is a feel-good story. A native of Rochelle, Ga., the once four-star prospect was moved from defensive line to tight end in 2015 as a redshirt freshman.
