Nico Johnson said Blake Barnett kept looking taller and taller the closer he got.
Johnson was on Alabama's practice field watching some older players work out during a visit to campus in January when he saw Barnett, the Tide's five-star freshman quarterback, off to the side throwing passes to one of Alabama's young wide receivers.
Johnson didn't recognize Barnett until someone told him who he was.
The former Alabama and current Cincinnati Bengals linebacker then watched Barnett throw before approaching the young quarterback to talk later on.
