TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Alabama’s newest player is hard to miss on the practice field.

At 6-foot-6, 308 pounds, offensive guard Landon Dickerson is a massive addition to the Crimson Tide roster. He joined the team just before fall camp after graduating from Florida State, and not only have reporters been impressed by the mammoth lineman, but his teammates have taken notice, too.

“Yesterday, me and somebody else were standing there and were like, ‘Dude, you look really big today.’ I think it may have been Tommy Brown,” said redshirt senior right guard Matt Womack on Tuesday. “It’s because he has these cleats on, the cleats, I swear, are like this big. But we were like, ‘Dude, you look like you’re at least 6-6, 6-7 right now.’ But yeah, he’s big. He’s a big guy.”

Dickerson has participated in all three of Alabama’s preseason practices and is now one of 20 players for the Tide that are listed at 300 pounds or more, including 12 that are offensive linemen.

A former 5-star recruit, according to 247Sports, Dickerson started at right guard for the Seminoles in 2016 as a true freshman but injured his ACL after making seven starts, missing the remainder of that season. Dickerson returned to the field in 2017, but injuries plagued him once again, forcing him to miss the last nine games of the season. He played in two games during the 2018 season before missing the rest of the season with an injury and ultimately redshirting last year.

An original member of the 2016 recruiting class, Dickerson was rated the No. 4 offensive tackle and the No. 31 overall player in the country, per the industry-generated 247Sports Composite.

Womack met Dickerson during one of his visits to Tuscaloosa and is glad to now call him a teammate.

“I love Landon. He’s a great guy,” Womack said. “As soon as he came in, he was acting like himself. I met him a couple times before he actually came here. But he’s a great guy, he’s a great player. I watched him yesterday with pads on, and he was doing some really great stuff, so I’m excited to see what he’s going to do in the future.”

During Alabama’s open practice this past Saturday, which was his second in an Alabama uniform, Dickerson worked at right guard with the third-team offensive line. Nick Saban said that producing a total evaluation on Dickerson after only a few practices is difficult, but the former Florida State starter is a welcomed addition to Tuscaloosa and will compete during his first season.

“We like the fact that he’s played a lot of good football against a lot of good football teams. He’s got a lot of experience,” said Saban of Dickerson in Saturday’s Media Day press conference. “He’s big, he’s a strong guy. He will have a physical presence on the offensive line for us, in terms of his toughness.

“I think it’s too early to tell exactly where he can be the best fit for us, relative to the other players that we have. We want to coach all the offensive linemen that we have to try to get the best five out there. He certainly is a guy that’s competing for one of those spots.”
