Junior defensive end Austin Roberts had some catching up to do after arriving late to camp due to delays in receiving academic clearance.
“He has some maturity, obviously,” defensive coordinator Mike Stoops said. “He was an outstanding player coming out of high school. Alabama doesn't recruit many bad players.
“He has a lot of skills, uses his hands well, plays with great leverage. That's what I was impressed with coming out of junior college.”
The former Northeastern Oklahoma A&M standout has made plenty of strides since arriving in Norman.
“He's ready to go,” defensive line coach Diron Reynolds said.
