Alabama linemen competing over sweat, not stats

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — There aren’t many stats for offensive linemen, so Wilkin Formby and Jaeden Roberts have turned to stains to measure their performance this spring.

“Me and J-Rob, we have a competition of who sweats the most at this point,” Formby said following Alabama’s practice on Wednesday. “He’s winning. He’s winning a little bit, but he just naturally sweats that much.”

Speaking to reporters with sweat dripping down from his face, Roberts happily accepted the title.

“I got him beat,” he said with a laugh.

While Roberts earned bragging rights Wednesday, sometimes the competition requires a bit of judging.
