Alabama Football 2026: The Game-Changing Offensive Linemen You Didn't See Coming – Part 2

If you watch highlights, it’s hard to nitpick. His arms are ridiculously long, he’s got quick feet off the line of scrimmage, and he can overpower anyone in front of him. He doesn’t punch or strike like Strayhorn does, but more locks on and drives. And in pass protection, his feet and arm length make him excellent at keeping up with speed rushers or inside counters.

The word on Haywood has been a lack of consistency. If he puts that together, he’s got all the tools to be an excellent lineman.

Scheme Fit and Prediction

I think that Haywood could easily be a tackle or guard, and his excellent lateral quickness should make him a great fit for Grubb’s counter and power run blocking schemes, especially at guard. I think he’ll be in contention for one of the starting guard spots this year, but I’d consider him more of a longshot and a developmental piece. As only a redshirt freshman, though, he’s a transfer that’s still got plenty of time to develop before it’s make-or-break for him to become a starter.
