Crimson Tide coach Kalen DeBoer revealed Thursday that long snapper Kneeland Hibbett is now on scholarship. Hibbett was awarded the scholarship during preseason camp.

“I wasn’t sure even internally how to handle that,” DeBoer said. “I wanted to surprise him. We did that. He’s got that. He deserves that. He’s rock solid and just a great person.”

Alabama does senior talks, and Hibbett started it off last week, DeBoer said.
