talent overall in the 2022 recruiting class. In his 11 games as a true freshman, he recorded 31 total tackles, 3 tackles

At the age of 55, Price passed away in June after 28 years of coaching defensive linemen in the SEC. The reason of
death was not stated.

Nolen, and a few other players, Overton is the first transfer to arrive at Alabama this summer.
