  07/22/22 - RB *Jahmyr GibbsJr/2023, Alabama

  Perhaps it's the Jameson Williams effect or maybe Jahmyr Gibbs is just that explosive. But the preseason chatter surrounding this transfer from Georgia Tech would indicate Alabama is expecting a breakout season from the speedy running back. And the Williams comparisons could extend to the big-play capability Gibbs brings not just to the running game but the passing game as well. Gibbs caught 60 passes in his two seasons with the Yellow Jackets that netted 773 yards with five touchdowns. Crimson Tide linebacker Will Anderson flashed a smile when asked about Gibbs on Tuesday. "He's like a little wide receiver sometimes," Anderson said. "When we have to take the wheel routes with him, you really have to get on your horse because he has wheels and he can run. He's dangerous out of the backfield but I love it. It's fun to watch."

The 5-foot-11, 200-pound junior from Dalton, Georgia averaged 5.2 yards a carry playing for a Georgia Tech program that went 6-16 in his two seasons there. Stepping into a primary role this spring, Gibbs was the A-Day MVP thanks mostly to a 75-yard touchdown run. Alabama safety Jordan Battle wasn't on the field for that sample of Gibbs' open-field speed. The secondary veteran, however, is well-acquainted with Gibbs as locker mates who recently traveled together. Their on-field meetings will benefit both down the line. But who wins more? "I think it's 50/50," Battle said. "I stood him up a couple of times. He got me a couple of times but that's the thing about Alabama. You're going to compete every day. You're going to be that competitor every day. You're going to make a play. You're going to miss a play. That's how you learn how to not miss that play in the game." - Birmingham News
