Jonah Williams tells freshmen OTs what they must do to succeed at Alabama

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama returned outside Wednesday as the Crimson Tide took part in its sixth practice of fall camp. Players wore full pads as they worked under muggy 81-degree weather.

Here are some notes from the media viewing period:

— VanDarius Cowan was dressed in a black, no-contact jersey for the fourth straight practice and was stretching on the sidelines during the viewing period. He was wearing a high-altitude mask.

— Minkah Fitzpatrick spent time with both the cornerbacks and the safeties. At times he appeared to be moving into the STAR position while Tony Brown was deployed outside as a corner. This could be something Alabama head coach Nick Saban experiments with in the future. Fitzpatrick started his college career playing star, while Brown, a track-star, has the speed to play cornerback. If Alabama does go in that direction, Hootie Jones will most likely be paired with Ronnie Harrison at safety.
