Recruiting this summer is once again going to be filled with a number of big commitments. It’s nice Bama gets the best in state offensive lineman and the 85th ranked player in the nation to start the summer run.

That's a big ole boy at 6'8". We'll see if he has the strength to hold up. If he can just stay in the program & build up some muscle mass he should be special.

He’s been verified at 6’-7” … maybe he grew an inch since that time but that would be unusual. The recruiting analyst on 247 who evaluated him said Formby would need two years in a college strength training program before he could be a productive SEC lineman.

Much like Fletch was 6'5" and 6'9" with afro.........

Formby is 6'8" with his cleats on.

Good thing we don't have a college strength training program...

The legacy that is Taco Casa.

His grandfather played for Coach Bryant. After his playing days at Bama he went into the food business opening the chain.

Wow. I had no idea. I ate at the one on Skyland once. Better than Taco Bell.

Big boy, just hope he will be able to contribute in a year or two.

Splitting hairs time? Sorry, I wasn’t looking at my watch.

You know who grows an inch? Any guy almost 6ft tall.

I'm surprised it's not a high school rule.
