His carries went for an average of 10.7 yards in that game and played a huge factor in Alabama’s come from behind victory in the contest.
Heading into his sophomore season in Tuscaloosa, the California native is hard at work this offseason to prove he deserves an opportunity to see the field in the near future. The former five-star recruit has shown what he can do when given an opportunity now, he’s out to prove he’s worthy of one given Alabama’s loaded backfield.
