True freshman Mack Wilson is making a name for himself this year for his ability to do a little bit of everything for the Tide. Wilson has made plays at linebacker, caught a touchdown out of the fullback position, and he has laid the lumber on special teams. Saturday in Alabama's 33-14 win over Texas A&M it was on special teams that Wilson left his mark and boy did he ever.

Wilson dished out two of the biggest hits of the year for the Tide, both on kickoff coverage.

The first hit was controversial, many felt it should have been reviewed as targeting and that it was a least helmet-to-helmet. No flag was thrown however and the play stood. Wilson is going to be a very good player for Alabama and these special teams plays are very comparable to what Rueben Foster did for the Tide (remember that Fournette hit?) before becoming a full time starter.
You don't rebuild at Bama, you reload.
