Agreed on Shon...hope he's as good as advertised

For Bama

On D:

Tim Williams - RSed last year to gain wt but an elite pass rushers skill set. Was an absolute animal pass rushing and in the flats and coverage at Aday

Reggie Ragland - Struggled to learn playcalls and checks his whole career for the ILB always had the athleticism and physicality. Looked like a totally different player than I've seen since he's been on Bama's campus on Saturday, had a gang load of tackles, had the check downs and was flying around making plays all day. Could be Bama's answer to losing Mosley.

Honorable Mention - DJ Pettway - Gonna be a force this year and may end up being the best player on D by the end of the year. Recognition though because of the ACT Card incident

On O:

Alphonse Taylor - Came in as a NG/DT but had horrible technique in particular looked like an OL so he switched over took a yr to get playbook down, now looking like he will be a high impact starter at RG replacing Steen.

ArDarius Stewart - Came in as an accomplished Athlete who played QB at Fultondale HS but mostly a runner. Showed versatility this Spring by playing S to provide depth then switching back to WR and showing his skills in the Aday game with a coup,e really impressive catches including 1 TD catch. Chris Black, expected slot WR looked less than stellar (had a few drops although the QBs were terrible) Stewart will provide good depth at slot WR behind Black and likely make a name for himself this year with his speed and acrobatic catches.

On defense:

DT Regie Meant. Lightly recruited out of high school, was a 6'4 270 lb DT/DE. Only played a couple of years.

Used a RS last season, put on 30 lbs and has all but locked down a starting DT position in '14. Will likely beat out 4* JUCO DT Cory Johnson for the 3 tech spot.

On offense:

Patrick Towles. A 6'5 235 lb 4* QB from the 2012 class. Joker Phillips burned his redshirt against Mississippi State where he went 5-5 71 yards and a TD before being injured and struggling to compete the rest of the season.

Took a RS in 2013 and spent the offseason with a local QB guru, fixing a hitch in his mechanics.

Currently competing against Drew Barker for the starting QB position, there is some chatter that Towles leads the competitition.
