Alabama football countdown: 76 days until kickoff
We have finally done it. We are officially under 100 days until the Alabama Crimson Tide are back on a football field. After another national championship winning season, Nick Saban and company are looking for a repeat performance in 2021.
The opening week matchup is against the Miami Hurricanes in Atlanta, Ga. on Sept. 4. With it now being June 20, we are now 76 days away from the start!
Five-star true freshman offensive tackle Tommy Brockermeyer will wear the No. 76 for Alabama. After the Texas native chose to sign with the Crimson Tide despite being a Longhorns legacy, the hope is that he can eventually become a force along the offensive front.
Other former Tide standouts have worn the No. 76, including the No. 11 in the 2013 NFL Draft, D.J. Fluker. After a successful career in Tuscaloosa, Fluker was taken by the San Diego Chargers. Since then, he’s started games with the New York Giants, Seattle Seahawks and Baltimore Ravens.
Earlier this offseason, Fluker was signed by the Miami Dolphins and will get a chance to protect former Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa this upcoming season.
