 Draft Scout College Football Player News


  There are some real personalities in Alabama's secondary. Jordan Battle proved that last year. Now a senior, Battle stepped to the mic Friday to say he didn't have any new Nick Saban jokes but noted the coach has been laughing a lot and that he's "liking his energy lately." The Fort Lauderdale product gave a rundown of freshmen safeties who are getting their sea legs before being asked about another fourth-year safety. Like Battle, DeMarcco Hellams opted against the NFL to come back for another season in Tuscaloosa. In a secondary with a few big names and personalities, Hellams could be one who doesn't get the same recognition as Battle or Kool-Aid McKinstry.

But the Washington DC product tied for the team lead with three interceptions a year ago. He also has quite a nickname. "He's Hitman Hellams," Battle said Friday. "He's a big hitter." Indeed he is. Listed at 6-foot-1, 208 pounds, Hellams has a highlight reel that proves he's not afraid of a little contact. But Hitman Hellams? "I think he came up with it, to be honest," Battle said who asked for the origin story. "His play speaks for the name. He's a good hitter. When he breaks on the ball, I think receivers are a little timid to catch it." - Birmingham News
