Alabama football 2025 season preview, predictions: Jackson Lloyd

Part of the Alabama Crimson Tide's 2025 recruiting class, there were few names ranked higher as recruits overall in that group than Jackson Lloyd. An offensive tackle, Lloyd comes to Tuscaloosa from the state of California where he was among the top players on the west coast a year ago at the high school level, as well as a talented multi-sport athlete. One of the earliest commits in Alabama's class, where does Lloyd now project on the Crimson Tide's depth chart as he enters year one in Tuscaloosa? Let's take a look at everything you need to know about Alabama offensive lineman Jackson Lloyd entering the 2025 season. Jackson Lloyd player information Jackson Lloyd career stats This will be the first season for Lloyd at the collegiate level. Lloyd has yet to appear in a college football game. Jackson Lloyd 2024 stats Lloyd recently spent the 2024 season at Carmel High School in California. As a senior, Lloyd primarily lined up at left tackle. Jackson Lloyd recruiting ranking Per the 247Sports Composite rankings, Lloyd was considered the nation's No. 45 overall player, as well as the No. 7 offensive tackle nationally, in the 2025 recruiting class. A four-star recruit who committed to Alabama in June 2024, Lloyd also ranked as the No. 3 player in the state of California where he attended Carmel High School. Jackson Lloyd 2025 season outlook Entering the 2025 season, Lloyd will likely not start for the Crimson Tide at offensive tackle. As to why, that is because Alabama likely has both Kadyn Proctor and Wilkin Formby cemented as starters, but that does not necessarily mean that Lloyd will not play in 2025 either. In fact, Lloyd should be one of Alabama's main backup options at offensive tackle this fall, even as a true freshman. Overall, expect the true freshman to see a significant amount of action this fall as a backup, which could come at either of the two tackle spots.

Raigad's tribal ashram school celebrates nature-friendly Rakhi

Navi Mumbai: Students from a tribal ashram school in Pen, Raigad, and those from Carmel High School celebrated Rakshabandhan in an eco-friendly way— by not just tying rakhis to each other, but to trees as well. They tried to convey the message that a rakhi is not just a reminder of bonds in relationships, but should also carry a message of protecting nature and tribal culture. The event was organised by the Pen-based NGO, Ankur Trust, which has been fighting for tribal rights and empowerment for over three decades. On this occasion, senior social worker of Ankur Trust, Dr Vaishali Patil, said, "The real protection of tribals come from mountains, valleys, bushes, and forests. That's why we celebrate Rakshabandhan by tying rakhi to nature." Former sarpanch of Tarankhop gram panchayat Dinesh Patil, Raj Patil, Carmel School principal Sister Sofaya, teachers Pratiksha Kadam, M Sakshi, Lankesh Gawas, and Hema Gharat were present at the programme. A tribal student said, "Nature teaches us to protect ourselves by doing just the right things which do not harm the environment. Our lives are interlinked to nature."

'History matters': Carmel students help plan city's first Juneteenth celebration

Growing up in Carmel wasn't always easy, Varda Coleman says. 'I had an issue understanding who I am and who I need to be,' Coleman said. 'I got better at it throughout the years and learned not to be ashamed of my skin color or where I come from.' The 18-year-old, who graduated from Carmel High School last month, is now trying to support other Black people in her hometown. Coleman, 19-year-old Sophia Jallow and other members of the high school's Black Student Alliance teamed up to plan what's believed to be Carmel's first Juneteenth celebration. 'Carmel is predominantly white, but there is a Black community in Carmel, and they are very real,' Jallow said. 'The biggest goal for me is to help Black children feel like their history matters. What I want to do with this event is just instill cultural pride and give the Black community a chance to celebrate.' The celebration will take place from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Carter Green, near the Palladium, on June 19. There will be food vendors, musical performances and educational booths with lessons for kids on the history of Juneteenth. June 19 marks the day in 1865 when the last enslaved people in the United States learned they were free. In 2021, former President Joe Biden signed a bill passed by Congress that marked Juneteenth, or June 19, as a federal holiday. From 2020: Carmel has a negative reputation when it comes to race relations. Here's why. The Black Student Alliance started planning the event in December then worked for several months on raising money and other logistics. Jallow hopes it becomes an annual event, with more support from the City of Carmel in future years. The Juneteenth event could help Carmel progress forward from a history that has included some accusations of racial ignorance and racism, Jallow said. The city previously settled two lawsuits, filed in 1997 and 2014, that accused Carmel police officers of racial profiling. 'If Carmel wants to disprove any negative or bad reputations regarding race, this event will help,' Jallow said. 'Prioritizing Juneteenth and showing that they do care about their Black community shows initiative.' More: Pride events gain traction in traditionally conservative Hamilton County For Jallow, national and statewide efforts this year to stop diversity, equity and inclusion programs, known as DEI, fueled her in planning the Juneteenth event. Executive orders from President Donald Trump in January rolled back DEI initiatives in the federal government. Then concerns about the bill and federal actions led some state colleges to preemptively shutter diversity-related offices and trainings. Gov. Mike Braun also signed an executive order in January prohibiting DEI initiatives in state government and closing the former Office of the Chief Equity, Inclusion and Opportunity Officer. 'Targeting DEI is the very antithesis of Juneteenth, because DEI was born because Black Americans are oppressed in this country, and it started with slavery,' Jallow said. 'We can't change the world overnight, but the Juneteenth celebration can have an impact in our own community, here in Carmel.' Contact Jake Allen at Follow him on X, formerly Twitter, @Jake_Allen19.
