[TheRealPokeChop]

Good for him. I'll eat all the crow necessary for anything bad I said about him. What a come back season

He is one of two CFB centers I could name

 

[Crimson Steel]

Wow. Congrats. He earned that one!

 

[Bama_N_Va]

Really speaks volume about our coaches over the last couple of years!!!!

Remember, he was an excellent center at Bama - if he hadn't had the yips snapping the ball he would have been near-perfect. Looks like he got that fixed this year (whatever the cause was), so this isn't surprising.

That said, I'm a big PB fan, so I'm still happy with how things went.

Seth became friends at UA with a young cousin of mine. Nothing but glowing reports. Congrats and quick healing.

 

[Bamabuzzard]

Congrats to Seth! Sometimes a fresh start is what the doctor ordered! Congrats again!

This isn't a surprise at all. Congrats to him because he more than earned it! Praying for a fast and full recovery from the injury and that he has a long productive run in the NFL. Hope one day he can look back at 'bama fondly.

He has had nothing but good things to say about his time at Alabama while at OSU. It just didn't work out.

He is a DJ Fluker level road grader run blocker. Still needs to improves his pass protection but will get better coaching in the NFL.

Anyone know what he did to fix the yips?

Probably just change of scenery. It got into his head at Alabama

Snapping wasn't an issue for either bama or osu so I'd agree. Worked for LT Overton and Jackson for us.

I'm glad for McLaughlin. I just wish that that level of accomplishment had come in Tuscaloosa.

I'd also be deadly curious to get his take on what cause the bad snaps, yet cleared up in Columbus.

Regardless, I wish him a productive NFL career and a happy and healthy life afterward.

 

[Tidewater]

Good for him.
That said, as a center, you have to deliver the football to the QB consistently and accurately. If a significant number of your snaps tumble across the gound to the QB, then you are an absolute disaster as a center. He was not coached to do this. I am certain he was not trying to do this, but it happened.
Fix that problem and you can be great.
He did and he is.
2023's season's play from the offensive center position at Alabama was one of the very worst I have ever seen.
Glad he got it fixed and now is bring rewarded.

I think it will be a lot like how Jalen Hurts feels about Bama. As Audio said, he is a good center but got the yips....

Going through the channels and the 2022 championship game is on , who was our starting center? Seth, and I don't recall him having any problems with Bryce that year? Just saying, glad he got the recognition he deserves!
