Mr. Football in Texas as a high school player, be a more permanent player on the offensive line, they might just get their chance. Center Seth McLaughlin, a starter for the past season and a half, struggled with errant snaps against Michigan in the College Football Playoffs, has entered the transfer portal.
That could open the door for Brockermeyer, who played around 30 snaps for the Alabama Crimson Tide this season. Then again, Brockermeyer is the only scholarship center on the roster, as Terrence Ferguson II, who could have possibly been in line to get the job, also entered the portal. Ferguson started one game against South Florida in Week 3 and spent time dealing with a high-ankle sprain.
Alabama lost to the Michigan Wolverines 27-20 in the Rose Bowl and some of the big plays that stood out were bad snaps McLaughlin made to quarterback Jalen Milroe. One of those was on the final play of the game, a fourth down and Milroe was stopped trying to run up the middle.
McLaughlin also had two poor snaps on a drive early in the second half, a problem that had crept up multiple times during the season. One of those came on a third down play against Auburn in the Iron Bowl that set up a fourth-and-25 that Alabama converted in the final seconds to win the game.
