TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- Trains run regularly near the Alabama football team's practice fields.

Jalston Fowler runs regularly on the Alabama practice fields.

Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference.

Fowler, whose nickname is "Nudie" (see the story behind that), is a running back who has been practicing mostly at H-back during preseason camp. He runs. He blocks. He catches.

What does he like best?

“Running,” Fowler said after the Crimson Tide's practice Tuesday morning.

Why?

“I like to truck people, run people over," Fowler said. "We’ve got this saying: When you hear the train coming across the railroad, hear the little choo! choo! Nah that’s the Nudie Bus.”

HaHa Clinton-Dix chuckled when asked which teammates he hates tackling.

"I'm going to have to go with Jalston," the junior safety said. "He's a big back. Powerful. Keeps his legs moving. Between him and T.J. (Yeldon), those are two great backs. And also (Derrick) Henry. He's a load."

Clinton-Dix was asked if Fowler creates mismatch problems for a defense because of his multiple positions.

"It definitely is," Clinton-Dix said. "He can go to running back, tight end, split out. He does a lot for us. I'm glad to have him on my team."

Do they really call Fowler the "Nudie Bus"?

"That's what they call him," Clinton-Dix said with a laugh. "He's a bus. He's a bus. He's a tough load to handle."
