Another Alabama football player is taking up a spring sport.

Linebacker Keith Holcombe recently joined the Crimson Tide baseball team after finishing his second season with Nick Saban's squad. A 37th-round draft pick (1,110th overall) out of Tuscaloosa's Hillcrest High School in 2014, Holcombe is listed as an outfielder on Alabama's roster.

Fellow defenders Tony Brown and Marlon Humphrey ran track last year.

Holcombe was an all-state baseball player in high school. As a senior, he hit .467 with 86 hits, 55 runs and 31 stolen bases. As a pitcher, he had an 8-2 record with a 3.68 ERA and 43 strikeouts.

"I think for Keith, I think, baseball's not's done," Hillcrest coach baseball coach Mark Garner told AL.com in 2014. "There's been so much open doors just from this year that Keith has been able to look at for down the road and in the future and everything. It's going to be exciting to see how football and baseball mesh together in his future."

After redshirting his first football season at Alabama, Holcombe made an impact as a special teams player in 2015. His blocked punt early in the SEC Championship Game win over Florida set the tone in a low-scoring first half. Holcombe made eight total tackles as a redshirt freshman with five coming on special teams.

Holcombe drew top reviews from linebacker Reggie Ragland during 2015 spring practice.

"Now in a couple of years, that's who everybody needs to watch out for," Ragland said. "He's going to be a stud for us."

Just how Holcombe manages his time between the baseball team and spring football remains the top question as the season approaches.

Alabama opens the rebuilt Sewell-Thomas Stadium at 6:30 p.m. on Feb. 9 against Maryland.
