Top Three Impact Freshmen
Sep 21st
The following three true freshmen, in no particular order, have made the most impact throughout the first three games.
- Christion Jones
Most thought that the 3-Star out of Minor would redshirt this season and be on the defensive side of the ball throughout his Crimson Tide career. Most were wrong. The double deuce Jones has found his way in the regular receiver rotation. He caught passes against Kent State and North Texas, while having a pass attempted his way against Penn State. Additionally, he has contributed on special teams by being either the 2nd or 3rd string punt returner. It will be interesting to see how often Jones sees the field as we enter SEC play this Saturday.
- Trey Depriest
Everyone knew that Depriest would be a contributor. The question was how much. Depriest has settled in as a special teams regular, even making some headlines with other special teams standout Vinnie Sunseri. As expected, Depriest appears to be on track to be a regular on the inside of the defense in a season or two.
- Vinnie Sunseri
Sunseri did not get an offer because his daddy is on the staff. He got an offer because he loves to hit people and is a solid player. Even though he has made his name by laying the lumber on special teams, the most impressive accomplishment is likely that Sunseri has appeared to crack the 2nd string once the Alabama defense goes to a nickel or dime package. Although we are probably not going to see the 2nd team defense take the field that often for the remainder of the season, we know that Sunseri and his pal Depriest will continue to be impact performers on special teams.
