Nick Sheridan didn’t want to talk about the ice cream truck that pulled up following Alabama’s practice Wednesday afternoon. The first-year offensive coordinator is fully focused on the Crimson Tide’s preseason camp.

Following Wednesday's workout, Sheridan spoke with reporters for roughly 10 minutes. Here’s a full transcript of what he had to say about Alabama’s offense six practices into camp.

“I thought yesterday and today, he took the best steps I’ve seen since I’ve been here,” DeBoer said. “Really the way he’s intentional about coming out. Even not just what you say but how you do things, what your body language is. And he gets that. That’s important. But he’s actually just leading that way. And then it leads to him playing well, and the other guys just follow in suit.”

I’m almost 65. I got hot today and couldn’t back my trailer. It’s a normal simple task. Everything I tried to do was backwards. I cooled off and it became easy again. This is the advantage we have in Alabama to condition our players to the heat. The forth quarter program is important.

The new coach and staff will have the autograph-hungry types in prime form for that 100-yard dash.

Kadyn Proctor and Olaus Alinen are really close friends, and Olaus helped in getting Proctor back to Alabama. Proctor also looks to be in pretty good shape based off this photo.

Thanks to those that took the ball yesterday, while I was internet short. Storms happen and vacations in the wrong place.

I know it's early but have any of you started or already made plans to be in Madison next season? Just looked and downtown hotels look to be filling up fast that weekend. I've never been to Wisconsin and looking forward to adding another big non-conference school to the list. Should be fun

What a race by all 3 Americans! So freaking proud of them. The entire intro was all about Jakob and Kerr. One of the most exciting sporting events I have ever seen. USA! USA! USA!

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — After a day off Monday, Alabama returned to the practice field for their fifth of 20 preseason workouts leading up to game week of the season-opener against Western Kentucky. Players were dressed in helmets, shoulder pads and shorts under 87-degree weather for the practice. Alabama had a slightly new look, as players wore charcoal shorts instead of the usual light gray.

— Freshman cornerback now has a sizable black club on his left hand. He had a cast on it Sunday, but this is bigger. The new accessory didn’t stop Brown from leading the cornerbacks during drills. He even did his best to make a few one-handed catches on balls thrown his way.

— Alabama’s first-team offensive line remained the same from Sunday with Kadyn Proctor, Tyler Booker, Parker Brailsford, Jaeden Roberts and Wilkin Formby from left to right.

— The second unit featured Texas A&M transfer Naquil Betrand at left tackle with Olaus Alinen, Roq Montgomery, Geno VanDeMark and Elijah Pritchett to his right.

— Pritchett previously worked primarily at left tackle. Now that Proctor seems to have retained his first team, role, we should see Pritchett battle it out with Formby for the right tackle spot.

“We’re just rotating some guys,” DeBoer said on Sunday. “So I know you guys aren’t seeing all the reps and everything. Just rotating, especially at tackle. The three interior guys have been pretty consistent with the ones, but just working Pritchett, Formby and Proctor around. …They’ve all been getting their chance and all been continuing to get better and we’ve got plenty of time here but that chemistry for that unit’s going to be critical.”

— Defensive line coach Freddie Roach is fun to watch during drills. He gives a lot of feedback to his players and also has a sense of humor. After correcting Keon Keeley several times, Roach told the redshirt freshman, “You’re learning… on my nerves.” From there, Roach continued to work with Keeley before giving him a slap on the behind and sending him through another drill.

— I got a good look at outside linebackers coach Christian Robinson leading the Wolf unit through the zigzag drill. Robinson often uses Que Robinson as a coach on the field, having the redshirt senior demonstrate drills to his younger teammates. Que’s veteran presence has been really noticeable the past five practices.

— Former Alabama fullback Le’Ron McClain was at Tuesday’s practice with his son.

Former Alabama basketball guard Kris Parker announced he is transferring to Villanova today. Parker redshirted last season before entering the portal in the spring.

Good to see he ended up at another Power Four program.

Alabama target Jordan Seaton decided against the Crimson Tide, siding with Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes.
Jordan Seaton is the No. 1 player at his position.

Expect Alabama to turn their attention to Favour Edwin of Eagles Landing (Ga.) and William Echoels of Houston High (Miss.)

There could be another name or two that get another look like Aidan Bryant but for now these seems to be two guys that remain.

Just asking I read on another board that they might be expected to flip to the Barn. Yes or No

Alabama had motivational speaker Hunter Pinke speak to the team. Pinke, a former tight end on the North Dakota football team, suffered a spinal cord injury in 2019 that paralyzed him from the neck down. His speeches aim to inspire hope, tenacity, and the ability to find joy in times of challenge.

Alabama updated its official roster with new heights and weights for the players. I'll have more in a bit.

Kadyn Proctor is now listed at 6-foot-7, 369 pounds on the roster. He was listed at 360 pounds last year but played well over that weight.
