Louisville transfer Tyler Harrell is set to make an impact for the Alabama Crimson Tide this season. One roadblock stands in the way; Harrell has missed time in training camp with a sprained foot.
Alabama head coach Nick Saban provided an update on Harrell’s status Wednesday afternoon.
“First of all, he had a sprained foot for a while, so he wasn’t able to practice all the time,” Saban said, via On3 Sports. “But now, probably the last scrimmage and this week — Tuesday, Wednesday of this week — he’s starting to get more reps. I think he’s starting to get more confident. I do think that he’s a guy that, because of his speed, can help us. I think he’s got to continue to make progress and we’re certainly working with him and he’s had a great attitude about doing it. We’ll just sort of keep on keeping on with him.”
Harrell was a star for the Cardinals last season, tallying 523 receiving yards and 6 touchdowns, the most of any receiver on the team. He joins Georgia transfer Jermaine Burton as strong receivers added to a lineup that saw plenty of turnover this offseason.
