True freshman early enrollee Tony Brown shined in Alabama's spring game, calming the nerves of Alabama fans whose eyes were fixated on the three holes left in the defensive backfield.
But he is a freshman who will make freshman mistakes.
Because of that, head coach Nick Saban and defensive coordinator Kirby Smart need options, and 5-star incoming freshman Marlon Humphrey could provide that option.
The 6'1", 175-pounder from Hoover, Ala. is tremendous in coverage and has amazing straight-line speed.
Saban used a revolving door at one cornerback spot last season opposite Deion Belue. If he does it again in 2014, Humphrey will be one of the players to walk through. Don't be surprised if he locks it down—just like he'll do to opposing wide receivers.

Pros
Alabama is supported by one of the most intense fanbases in all of sports. It's also led by perhaps the greatest coach in the history of college football in Nick Saban. The facilities are among the best in the business.
The roster in Tuscaloosa is full of NFL prospects, and Saban has won three national titles as the leader of the Crimson Tide. Thompson would get prepared for the pros about as well as he possibly can at 'Bama.
Cons
Early playing time is hard to come by in Tuscaloosa. Also, Thompson's one-gap attacking style may not fit well in Alabama's defensive scheme.
