Nick Saban discusses how Henry To'o To'o's presence has benefitted Christian Harris

The Alabama Crimson Tide brought in one of the most-coveted transfers on the market this offseason in former Tennessee LB Henry To’o To’o.

To’o To’o has slid seamlessly into the defensive scheme in Tuscaloosa, and it seems he’ll even be handling the play calls on the field for DC Pete Golding this fall.

After Wednesday’s practice, head coach Nick Saban said To’o To’o’s presence has also made Christian Harris even better, allowing him to slide over to the “Will” and “Money” spots where he’s more comfortable:

Nick Saban says Henry To’o To’o allows Christian Harris to play his “more natural position” of Will (and Money). Saban says To’o is a signal caller, but they have confidence in Harris if he needs to make signals too.

As Saban mentioned, that’s not a shot at Harris’s ability to make signals, as Saban said he still has confidence in Harris in that regard. Rather, it’s a move to maximize the talents of both players.

If Alabama can maximize both of their star linebackers, that’s bad news for opponents this fall!
