TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama worked outside Thursday as it held its seventh practice of spring camp. Players were dressed in full pads and practiced under sunny, 73-degree weather. Thursday marked Alabama’s final practice before the team’s first scrimmage Saturday inside Bryant-Denny Stadium. Here are some notes from the media viewing period:
— Alabama’s defense appeared to be working on hurry-up drills at the beginning of the workout. The team provided a rare look with the entire base defense working together. During one set, defensive coordinator Pete Golding yelled out “ones all out.” That group looked like this:
Defensive line: LaBryan Ray, Phidarian Mathis, Raekwon Davis.
Linebackers: Eyabi Anoma, Joshua McMillon, Dylan Moses, Kevin Harris II.
Cornerbacks: Patrick Surtain II, Trevon Diggs
Safeties: Xavier McKinney, Jared Mayden
— During positional drills, the outside linebackers worked in pairs. Anfernee Jennings and Christopher Allen were first up followed by Harris and Anoma. Jarez Parks worked with walk-on Williams Cooper in the third unit.
— Outside linebackers coach Sal Sunseri was very vocal during practice. He was especially hard on Allen, getting onto him on several occasions. During one altercation he made Allen redo a drill. After the redshirt sophomore got it right, Sunseri yelled over mimicking Allen from before, “I can’t do it. I can’t do it. You just did.”
— Eyabi Anoma had the middle two fingers of his left hand taped. During one drill when he had to put his hand on the ground, he was heard saying “my finger’s broke.” However, the sophomore linebacker was not limited during drills.
— Outside linebacker Terrell Lewis (knee) and offensive lineman Matt Womack were both at practice but weren’t participating in drills. Ben Davis (shin splints) was not seen during the viewing period.
— Alabama’s secondary looked to be working out of the dime unit later in practice. Surtain and Josh Jobe were the cornerbacks while Diggs was at Star and Xavier McKinney was at Money. Jared Mayden and Daniel Wright were the two safeties.
— Shyheim Carter (sports hernia) was still in a black jersey but did go through drills with the secondary. He saw time at safety and Star.
