NEW ORLEANS — Alabama took part in its third practice of Sugar Bowl week as players worked out inside of Caesers Superdome on Wednesday morning.
Here are a few notes from the media viewing session.
— Alabama’s two first-team inside linebackers were senior Henry To’o To’o and true freshman Jihaad Campbell. Starter Jaylen Moody was once again not dressed out with his right arm in a sling. Redshirt freshman Deontae Lawson was dressed out but spent the media session riding the stationary bike. Ian Jackson and Kendrick Blackshire were Alabama’s second-string pairing at inside linebacker.
Campbell has appeared in eight games this season, serving on the kickoff coverage and return teams as well as on the punt return team. According to Pro Football Focus, he has taken part in just one defense snap this season. Campbell, 6-foot-3, 225 pounds, came to Alabama as the No. 29 overall player in the 2022 class.
— Darian Dalcourt spent time on the station bike but also participated in reps at center with the second-team offense.
— Alabama’s first-team offensive line consisted of Tyler Steen, Tyler Booker, Seth McLaughlin, Emil Ekiyor Jr, and J.C. Latham from left to right. The second team unit was made up of Elijah Pritchett, Terrence Ferguson, Dalcourt, Jaeden Roberts and Kendall Randolph from left to right.
— I got a closer look at JUCO receiver Malik Benson. He is listed at 6-1, 185 pounds and looks like someone who has already been playing college football for two years. It’s hard to judge him from the media availability as the receivers were just working on ball-security drills, but he looks impressive physically.
— Alabama running backs also worked on ball-security drills during the media viewing session.
