Dylan Stewart

Dean Kindig

Career-high 7 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, and 1 sack vs VaTech; no stats vs Mizzou (had been cleared of ejection suspension that week); vs Bama, was fighting through a hip injury he sustained the prior week. Though he was cleared to play, he was noticeably limited by the injury and double-teams. He failed to secure a sack as Alabama held on to win. Reid: "Eye-popping bend and explosiveness, but more finishing production will be expected."
