Landon Dickerson is reportedly following the Jake Coker route.
The Florida State offensive lineman who entered the NCAA transfer portal -- not once, but twice -- is apparently set to move from Tallahassee to Tuscaloosa and join the Alabama football program per NoleGameday.com. According to the report, which cites a source close to the lineman, Dickerson opted for the Tide over re-joining his old coach Jimbo Fisher at Texas A&M.
Joining Nick Saban’s program is an interesting move nevertheless for Dickerson, who was set to be one of the Seminoles top offensive lineman in 2019 had he returned to the team this season instead of transferring.
While he arrived as a four-star recruit and flashed plenty of potential at FSU, consistency on the field was never something the 6-foot-6, 320-pounder could ever find. Dickerson started the 2018 campaign for the ‘Noles but wound up redshirting after the opener with an injury and was knocked out of the two seasons prior to that with lower leg injuries in both 2017 and 2016.
Alabama’s offensive line seems pretty solid heading into the season but depth is mildly concerning given the youth behind veterans like Alex Leatherwood and company. That’s likely where Dickerson, should he stay healthy, come in for the Tide.
