With a look at the offense finished, we now move to the defensive side of the ball, which has quickly been built into a strength by head coach Nick Saban.

A little update on Dial- He is at least 6'6 and down to 300 lbs. and he told me a 4.9 forty.

Dial worked at a local chicken finger place in Trussville for a while. He's a massive kid, He didn't even have to use the step ladder to fill the drink machine with ice (the ice hopper was on top). According to Saban most kids come in overweight so its probably a good thing that he is losing weight and gaining speed and most likely endurance.
