“We haven’t decided on who the starter will be back there. Guys that did a good job a year ago, we got Cole (Adams) back there, really in both – and he started out as our punt returner a year ago – and he’s done a nice job just being steady. And then I think new faces, you’ve got Rico (Scott), probably kickoff return, you know, can do some things back there for us.
“And then Bak (Jaylen Mbakwe) in both areas as well. He and Cole really I think, can do both, and provide a combination of just consistency with fielding it, and then some explosiveness there, so I would start with those guys.”
Adams was likely Alabama’s best returner during the 2024 season. However, he suffered multiple injuries throughout the year, ending his season early.
Scott is one of the fastest players on the Crimson Tide. He did not return any kicks during his true freshman season, while preserving his redshirt, but did contribute as a returner in high school.
