When a football program is an absolute juggernaut and will know exactly what it’s doing at the quarterback and running back positions, it’s not that hard to forecast great offensive line play for a team like the Alabama Crimson Tide of the SEC. They have a ton of talent returning, including center Bradley Bozeman.
Alabama looks to be completely ferocious up front. The only big name lost on the offensive line from last year’s group was left tackle Cameron Robinson, who despite great hype largely underwhelmed in three years in Tuscaloosa. Inconsistency was key with the guy that fell to the second round to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Like Ryan Kelly before him, one guy that stands to be an elite player on the Alabama offensive line is senior Bradley Bozeman. He’ll play next to a stud at guard in Ross Pierschbacher, have a trio of talented running backs led by Bo Scarbrough running behind him and a returning dual-threat quarterback in Jalen Hurts to work with.
Bozeman could be a great pro, but will benefit greatly from the sheer amount of talent surrounding him at Alabama. At 6-foot-5, 314 pounds, Bozeman will be one of the bigger centers in the Power 5. 2016 was his first year as a starter on the Alabama offensive line. He played 15 games at center for the national runner-up. Look for big things out of him and the Alabama offensive line in 2017.
