Alabama’s Star WR Jaylen Waddle Likely Out For Season With Ankle Injury

Alabama wide receiver Jaylen Waddle suffered a high-ankle sprain and a fracture, Saturday, playing against Tennessee. The injury will sideline him for the remainder of the season.

Waddle was injured on the opening kickoff of the team’s 48-17 victory over Tennessee. Head Coach Nick Saban called the injury a “shame” and praised the wide receiver’s talent.

“He’s fun to watch, that’s for sure, whether he’s in punt return, kickoff return or playing on the field,” Alabama coach Saban told reporters, according to ESPN. “I think the big thing is that Jaylen has sort of expanded his role and his game to where he can play all the positions at receiver now. We can move him around, whereas before he was mostly a slot guy.

“Now he can make plays anywhere on the field, and I think that’s very helpful. You expect people to double [cover] guys like him, and when you can move him around, it makes it a little more difficult for the defense.”

Waddle is expected to be a top-15 pick for the 2021 NFL draft; however, the new injury could affect his stock. The upcoming NFL draft will be held in April 2021.

“I think we responded well on focusing on the most important thing, which is the next play at hand,” fellow Alabama receiver John Metchie III said.

Kyle Ashen’s sun-drenched recollection with new release “That Local Girl”

KYLE

Kyle Ashen’s latest release, “That Local Girl,” is a gorgeous trip down memory lane, a country single that explores that golden glow of memory, like flipping through old photographs touched by salt air and summer sunlight. It’s warm, cinematic, and deeply relatable, a song about the kind of love story that never quite goes away, even as time moves on.

“That Local Girl” is filled with imagery that quickly takes the listener into a world they can walk right into. You got a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl on a boardwalk street by the ocean, a souped-up truck driving through town, neon lights reflecting off the ocean breeze, and the electric innocence of young love burning in the background.

But under all that cutesy trapping is something more than that, longing. Some people, some places that leave permanent marks on Kyle Ashen and us know that. What’s so brilliant about this song is that it marries those two ideas, making love and hometown memory feel beautifully inseparable. Sometimes you miss a person. And with that person, you miss an entire version of life. “That Local Girl” is more than a country love song from Kyle Ashen. He is a living postcard from the past, sun-faded, bittersweet, and glowing with feeling. A reminder that summers pass by, but some memories stay with us forever.
