Alabama had the second of its three spring scrimmages on Saturday.

While the scrimmage was closed to the media, here are some notes based on information gathered through sources:

— DJ Dale continues to look like someone who’s probably going to make an immediate impact along the Alabama defensive line. The freshman from Clay-Chalkville has impressed throughout the spring and has been working with the first-team defense at nose tackle, including on Saturday. One source has gone as far as saying the 6-foot-3, 315-pound Dale looks like he could end up being Daron Payne 2.0 for the Crimson Tide. He’s been that impressive. Nick Saban said of Dale on Saturday, “He’s got good initial quickness, good power, strikes, seems to be pretty conscientious (and) shows a little maturity about being able to go out there and do his job.”

— It sounds like it was a rough scrimmage for Alabama’s reserve quarterbacks. Word is that current backup Mac Jones had four interceptions.

— Sophomore cornerback Josh Jobe, who continues to work with the first-team defense, had two or three interceptions, including a pick-six. Safety Xavier McKinney, cornerback Trevon Diggs and backup safeties Eddie Smith and Daniel Wright were among the other guys with interceptions. Tua Tagovailoa was responsible for two of the interceptions but was also responsible for several touchdown passes.

— Jaylen Waddle, Alabama’s super-talented sophomore wide receiver, was very active during the scrimmage. It sounds like Waddle had a good amount of catches, showed off his ability to generate yards after the catch and scored two touchdowns. One of them was a touchdown catch-and-run of about 20 yards during which Waddle eluded multiple defensive players on his way to the end zone.

— Tagovailoa and Henry Ruggs hooked up for a long touchdown. Freshman wide receiver John Metchie, who had two touchdowns in the first spring scrimmage, also scored. He beat freshman cornerback Scooby Carter for a touchdown.

— It sounds like redshirt senior Josh McMillon is still the leader in the competition for the inside linebacker spot next to Dylan Moses.

— The feedback was once again great regarding the top two running backs — Najee Harris and Brian Robinson. Harris had at least one touchdown as well as some nice-sized runs during which he broke multiple tackles.

— Word is that third-string running back Jerome Ford also made some plays after also having some good moments during the team’s first spring scrimmage. The redshirt freshman had a touchdown run of about 20 yards as well as at least one other run of 20 or so yards. Chadarius Townsend had a touchdown, too. Townsend, a converted wide receiver who has been working with the running backs throughout the spring, had a touchdown run of around 10 yards.
