• Can Tony Mitchell impact Bama’s secondary? •

• 2023 Alabama Sports 2023 •  Tuscaloosa, AL Matt Caddell, a former Tide wide receiver, says Mitchell ‘will be all bought in’ after not having to face jail time. 'He is going to be focused now,' Caddell said about Mitchell. You get a second chance. We have all made mistakes and everything, but to have an opportunity to not lose your opportunity, I think he’s going to be more focused, bought in, listening to what Coach Saban says, and he knows he was not there for spring. He enrolled early, but he was not there for spring. He knows he has to up the ante. He has to make up for lost time, so he is going to be bought in. He will have to go through Coach Saban's punishment, but that is going to make him greater. Coach Saban is going to channel him and build that bond with him. Caddell also sees fellow five-star, Caleb Downs, as competition that Mitchell wants to push. 'Those guys are going to push each other to possibly be the starters by the Texas game,' Caddell said of Mitchell and Downs. 'I would not be surprised to see Downs and Mitchell. If Tony Mitchell is balling out like that with Caleb Downs, this is going to be Coach Saban's suspension for him … a slap on the wrist.' • READ MORE HERE >>> BAMA SPORTS •
