Alabama’s new offensive line coach, Chris Kapilovic, appears to have the Crimson Tide dominate up front this fall.
After allowing 44 sacks of Jalen Milroe in 2023, the Tide’s offensive unit has been training with an elite coach this offseason.
Duane “Duke” Manyweather, one of the best trainers for offensive linemen, scouts linemen and develops them.
He assisted 18 offensive linemen to be selected in the recent NFL Draft, including Amarius Mims of Georgia. Manyweather focuses on technique, strength, power, footwork, and agility for linemen. He spent a session with Tyler Booker, Kadyn Proctor, and Wilkin Formby last week and was impressed with them. Manyweather said on X that “Bama’s future if bright with these young men! Right mindset and massive!” Alabama fans hope this leads to the Tide imposing its will up front consistently.
Alabama’s last dominant line was in 2020, with Landon Dickerson at center. Alabama was able to do everything it wanted offensively, winning the Southeastern Conference Championship and the College Football Playoff National Championship.
We will see how this group performs in the fall.
