Neal and Womack are both 6'7" and seems that may be a bit long to be holding down a OG position? Quick is shorter and maybe the better choice if he gets in shape by fall. Would wonder about Ekiyor (6'3") being a good choice or will he be only considered for OC?

Are we getting Deonte Brown back?
If it was a drug test that's 4 games, if it was PED's that's 10. Either way we should get him back, but he will lose reps as he can't play at minimum until game 3.

Alabama CB Saivion Smith makes NFL draft decision (BamaOnLine)

After one season at Alabama, junior cornerback Saivion Smith will forego his final year of eligibility and enter the 2019 NFL Draft, he announced via Twitter on Saturday.

3:11 PM · Jan 12, 2019
Smith, a junior college transfer, appeared in all 15 games and made 12 starts at cornerback for the Crimson Tide. The former LSU Tiger registered 60 tackles, five pass breakups and a team-high three interceptions, returning one of them for a touchdown against Arkansas State.
“Saivion has done a really nice job for us,” Alabama head coach Nick Saban said. “I think that when he focuses on what he’s supposed to do and has good eye control and plays with discipline, he plays extremely well. That has improved throughout the course of the year and that has been very helpful in helping him become a very good player and a very productive player for us.”
Alabama updated its online roster on RollTide.com following Friday’s draft announcements, so the four juniors that declared for the 2019 NFL Draft (Quinnen Williams, Jonah Williams, Josh Jacobs and Irv Smith Jr.), as well as the Crimson Tide’s departing seniors, were not listed. But neither was Smith, before showing up twice. Now he makes five early NFL draft entrants. Smith would have been a senior in 2019.
Alabama’s juniors have until Monday, Jan. 14, to declare for the draft. Players like Deionte Thompson, Mack Wilson and Anfernee Jennings haven’t made their intentions public. If they return, that’s three more starters back from the Crimson Tide’s 2018 defense, joining Trevon Diggs and Raekwon Davis in choosing to pass on the NFL draft and return to Tuscaloosa.
Should Thompson return, Alabama would lose only one starter from its secondary -- Smith. Players like Diggs, Xavier McKinney, Shyheim Carter and Patrick Surtain II will be back in 2019.

Alabama LB Mack Wilson makes NFL draft decision (BamaOnLine)
quote:
Alabama junior linebacker Mack Wilson has made his NFL draft decision. Wilson is expected to forego his senior season with the Crimson Tide and declare for the 2019 NFL Draft, BamaOnLine has learned. AL.com’s Matt Zenitz was first to report Wilson’s intentions.
Wilson was Alabama’s fifth-leading tackler this past season, registering 71 tackles from his Mike linebacker position. The Montgomery, Ala., native also contributed five tackles for loss, one sack, seven quarterback hurries, five pass breakups and two interceptions in 2018.
The former 5-star recruit is CBS Sports’ 55th overall prospect and No. 2 inside linebacker behind Butkus Award winner Devin White of LSU. Earlier in the season, Wilson took to Twitter to congratulate White and teased a return to Alabama in 2019. Reports also surfaced before the end of the season suggesting Wilson would do that. But the rising senior has changed his mind.
Wilson joined seven other Crimson Tide underclassmen to enter their names in the draft, including defensive tackle Quinnen Williams, offensive tackle Jonah Williams, running back Josh Jacobs, tight end Irv Smith Jr., cornerback Saivion Smith and safety Deionte Thompson.
Cornerback Trevon Diggs and defensive lineman Raekwon Davis are players that announced they will return for one more season. That gives Alabama six returning starters on the defensive side of the football for the upcoming 2019-20 campaign.
The deadline for underclassmen to declare for the 2019 NFL Draft is Monday, Jan. 14.

I would love to see Womack at LT and Brown at LG - we could run to the left very often and a lot...

Two more Alabama players enter NCAA transfer portal (BamaOnLine)

Two more Alabama players have entered the transfer portal.
Reserve defensive back Kyriq McDonald and long snapper Scott Meyer have entered their names into the NCAA transfer portal, BamaOnLine has learned. AL.com’s Matt Zenitz was first to report.
McDonald filled a role in the Alabama secondary and on special teams this past season after redshirting his first year in Tuscaloosa. He totaled seven tackles and a quarterback pressure through 11 games of action in his redshirt freshman campaign and was named one of the Alabama coaches’ special teams players of the week for his play against Mississippi State and Auburn.
Alabama signed five defensive backs during the early signing period of the 2019 cycle.
A former walk-on, Meyer acted as the Tide’s primary snapper on extra points and field goal attempts, finishing perfect on all chances, in 2017. He was a reserve behind starter Thomas Fletcher this past season and only saw the field in one game -- Week 12 against The Citadel.
Established in October of last year, the NCAA’s transfer portal now allows student-athletes to merely enter their name into an online database and merely wait for collegiate teams to contact them. It is also worth noting that players can withdraw their name from the portal, too.

Alabama LB Eyabi Anoma enters NCAA transfer portal (BamaOnLine)

A promising Alabama freshman has entered the transfer portal.
Crimson Tide outside linebacker Eyabi Anoma, a former 5-star recruit, has entered his name into the NCAA transfer portal, BamaOnLine has learned. AL.com’s Matt Zenitz was first to report.
Appearing in 12 games this season, Anoma registered nine tackles, including two for a loss, while adding one quarterback hurry as a reserve at outside linebacker. The 6-foot-5, 245-pound edge rusher also earned SEC All-Freshman Team honors from the league’s coaches.
Anoma missed one of Alabama’s playoff practices in December for “a personal day, I guess, to sort some things out,” head coach Nick Saban said at the time. He returned to practice the next day.
Anoma was a coveted 5-star recruit during the 2018 recruiting cycle, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings. He was considered the No. 1 weak-side defensive end and player in the state of Maryland and the No. 4 overall prospect in the nation. The Baltimore, Md., native chose Alabama over numerous national offers, including Georgia, Florida, Maryland and Michigan.
