TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - Alabama returned to the practice field for the Tide's fourth practice in preparation for the CFP quarterfinal matchup with the Indiana Hoosiers in the Rose Bowl. Sunday's practice featured a media viewing portion, during which we noticed some early enrollees from Alabama on the practice field.

"That's an awesome blessing, just for LT, it's awesome for us," Wommack said about LT Overton returning. "For him, obviously, he needs to have another good couple of days here, but is certainly on track. To have him in this game, his experience, certainly, his excitement of wanting to get back out on the field and go compete with his teammates. I mean, he's an ultimate competitor."

We also spotted early enrollee wide receiver Cederian Morgan, standing at 6-foot-4, and early enrollee defensive lineman Jamarion Matthews, who stands at 6-foot-6.
