Welcome to BamaCentral’s "Just a Minute," a video series featuring Alabama Crimson Tide on SI's beat writers. Multiple times per week, the writers will group up or film solo to provide their take on a topic concerning the Crimson Tide or the landscape of college sports.Watch the above video as Alabama Crimson Tide on SI football writers Hunter De Siver and Katie Windham discuss who they think will score Alabama's first touchdown this season when the Crimson Tide faces East Carolina in the opener this Saturday. In just two days, Alabama will take the field at Bryant-Denny Stadium for the season opener against East Carolina, which means we have little time to squeeze in a few more preseason predictions. For this one, we predict who will be the first Crimson Tide player to find the end zone in 2026. (Disclaimer: This is just a prediction. We have no way of knowing.)De Siver's pick: Sophomore wide receiver Lotzeir BrooksDec 19, 2025; Norman, OK, USA; Alabama Crimson Tide wide receiver Lotzeir Brooks (17) attempts to make a catch in the first half against the Oklahoma Sooners at Gaylord Family OK Memorial Stadium.

Rebilas-Imagn Images | IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters ConnectIt took Brooks until Game 14 to find the end zone last season, but De Siver predicts it will be as soon as Alabama's first drive this year. Brooks had a breakout year for Alabama in 2025 during his freshman season and is now one of the most experienced players in the room. Windham's pick: Junior wide receiver Ryan Coleman-WilliamsAlabama Wide Receiver Ryan Williams watches warm ups for the game against Eastern Illinois on November 22, 2025. | Sarah Munzenmaier/Alabama Crimson Tide on SIColeman-Williams went through a big physical transformation this offseason and is one of the undisputed leaders of this Crimson Tide team. As Alabama breaks in a new, young quarterback in Keelon Russell, I think Coleman-Williams will be one of his top targets this season, starting on the very first drive.
