Three Crimson Tide football first-year players were selected to ESPN Freshman All-America Team
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - Alabama held its second postseason practice on Tuesday afternoon, holding a two-hour session in full pads at the Hank Crisp Indoor Facility.
Today's session was the second of seven bowl practices before the holiday break and 12 practices overall prior to the matchup against No. 14 Michigan in the Citrus Bowl at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Fla. The Crimson Tide will face off with Wolverines on Wednesday, Jan. 1, 2020 with the game airing live on ABC at 12 p.m. CT.
Also on Tuesday, freshmen Christian Harris, Shane Lee and Evan Neal were named to the ESPN Freshman All-America Team. Harris saw time in all 12 games, including 11 starts in his first season with the Tide. The linebacker recorded 54 tackles, good for seventh among first-year defenders in the league and notched 5.5 of those for a loss (-12 yards) to tie for fourth in the SEC among freshmen. Lee joined Harris with a standout season after being thrown into the starting middle linebacker role a week before the season opener. Starting in all 12 games at left guard, Neal played a prominent role along the Tide's offensive line that only surrendered 12 sacks in 381 pass attempts during the regular season.
