Kool Aid McKinstry

The Alabama Crimson Tide dominated the ULM Warhawks 63-7 on Saturday in Bryant-Denny Stadium. The Tide controlled all three phases of the football game, setting a school record for punt return yards in a game and scoring touchdowns on special teams and defense.

The Crimson Tide begins fall camp on Thursday, August 4. Here is what to watch for on the defensive side of the ball.

Alabama freshman cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry announced this week on his social media accounts a partnership with Bojangles. McKinstry, who was recently named to the SEC All-Freshman team, announced the return of the Bojangles Supremes.

Three Alabama players, Dallas Turner, Kool-Aid McKinstry and JoJo Earle have been named to the SEC All-Freshman Team.

According to Matt Zenitz of On3 Sports, Alabama senior cornerback Josh Jobe underwent foot surgery this week and will be unavailable for the Tide's playoff run. Jobe has been dealing with a turf toe injury that has impacted his availability most of the year.

With Jase McClellan out, a spot opens up on the emergency running back position.

It only took two games for Kool-Aid McKinstry to make an impactful play for the Alabama Crimson Tide. McKinstry, the top player in the state of Alabama in the 2021 recruiting class, intercepted a Drew Sanders batted ball in the first quarter to give the ball back to the offense at midfield.

In a roughly 160-play practice, one player that stood out was freshman defensive back Terrion Arnold, who picked off Bryce Young while earning reps with Alabama's second-team defense.
