He moves pretty well in his high school highlights. Does a lot of pulling.
And supposedly he is now lighter. But who knows,

Brooks looks impressive but we just had a guy like that at LT that had all the potential in the world in Proctor and edge guys frequently just blew past him.


Proctor was a good player and he is going to be drafted in the first round.

We would take 5 guys just like him every year if we could. He was overweight and out of position but he gave up like 2 sacks this year.

What positions do we close with? Our O-line looks good.

The Portal is now CLOSED.

No new entries. Players can still visit and sign until the Fall.

I’ve read that schools have two days to process transfer requests so you could still see people entering through Sunday.

Scouting Report on new Alabama OL commit Nick Brooks (#71)

- Massive, high-ceiling OL with great length (6’7, 350)

- Started several games at LG as a true freshman, recruited as a OT out of HS

- Very raw technically, will need to continue to develop and improve fundamentally, play with better pad level

- Moves better than expected for his frame, but must work on having better balance and body control

- Flashes physicality in run blocking but must be more consistent

- Pass pro a work in progress, must clean up stunt recognition and pick up

Overall: Young, raw talent with significant upside. Elite physical traits and all the tools you could ask for, but will need development and consistent reps to refine fundamentals and reach his full potential.

- Terrance Green
- 1 (Depth piece) Edge
- 1 LB (depends on how the staff feels about the current group of LBs on the roster)

Proctor did not move anyone all year. Not saying he won’t be drafted high because of his measurables but he was hardly a dominate lineman and was pretty inconsistent at tackle. He will probably end up a guard in the league.

Say what you will but bama is a top tier developmental program for future transfers to OSU and the Texas schools.

Kidding … sorta

We lost two guys who would have started in 2026 and neither were stars. Time to up the Wellbutrin dosage.

Bama’s weakness - blocking - is being addressed with all these OL and TEs.

The skill guys need to be able to shine and the QBs need protection.

We all knew this.

This is good because it was being suggested we had a couple more guys who were leaning towards leaving.
