I checked in over the weekend to get an update on portal transfer addition Amari Niblack since his addition to the program.

Since joining the program, I have been told Niblack has had a seamless transition. Of course, it never hurts adding a contributing piece from an Alabama program that had been the gold standard under Nick Saban.

Niblack played the 2023 season in the 230-235 pound range. Since the conclusion of the season, Niblack has been working to add to his frame. I have been told Niblack will enter the spring season at 245 pounds after adding to his frame since December.

The key here is making sure the speed remains, however, you can now expect there to be plenty of mass to be a contributor in the trenches.

That is good news. The key for Niblack will be how he performs without the ball. He needs to be an adequate blocker to stay on the field.

He is definitely helping himself in that sense by getting to 245.

He's been in a boot some this spring because of a late-season injury at Bama. But is expected to be 100-percent for spring.

Isn't he currently in a boot?

I believe he and Helms will be a very lethal combination.

They are going to complement each other very well. 

Helm is so good he pluralized himself.

He got a lot of heat from the Alabama fans when he posted a video of himself smiling and dancing after the Texas loss. The next time Texas plays Alabama he will be able to post a video without being accused of celebrating after a loss. Just saying…

Is that what we're calling it now?
