Night Moves: Tide Freshmen Hit the Field

Due to inclement weather the first night session of Alabama fall practice was moved indoors.

Brent Calloway made his ‘Bama debut at the running back position working with walk-on Nick Tinker. Based on the initial day of practice it appears Calloway is battling for the fourth spot in the rotation.

Phillip Ely and multi-purpose athlete Blake Sims took reps at the quarterback position, although it is uncertain which role Sims will fill once the season begins. Due to the lack of depth at running back, Sims could be moved during the course of fall practice.

Multi-purpose athlete Christion Jones began his first night with the Crimson Tide at the wide receiver position. Jones, who can also play defensive back, is another player who will likely be “shuffled” during the month of August.
