Tyler Booker had trouble hiding what excites him for the 2024 season when he spoke at SEC Media Days in July.
The Alabama football offensive lineman didn’t hold back or try to downplay how much he’s looking forward to seeing what the running game can do this season.
“I’m just very excited to block for those guys,” Booker said. “Those guys in that room are special.”
Booker was asked in Dallas who he predicted would be a breakout player for the Crimson Tide this season, and he decided to pick a group.
“I think the running back room is really set up for success in this because everybody in that room is a leader,” Booker said. “From Jam (Miller) to Richard (Young), everybody is making each other better.”
AL.com had a chance to see that in action on Sunday, watching the running backs during the entire viewing period of practice open to reporters. The 20 or so minutes of practice viewing featured mainly position work. Here’s what stood out.
