TUSCALOOSA — Even when he talks, Darius Hanks isn’t a high-volume kind of guy.
The Alabama wide receiver is more soft-spoken, at least off the field — a place he’s spent more time in September than he’d like.
Issues relating to his medical redshirt season in 2007 meant the wide receiver had to sit out the season’s first two games to earn back his senior season eligibility. So, for two weeks, he sat and watched a host of young players fill the void pretty well.
Now it’s time to get back out there.
Hanks didn’t want to talk about his return until it was completed. That should come by 6:30 p.m. in Bryant-Denny Stadium when North Texas takes its best shot at No. 2 Alabama under the lights. In the meantime, Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban said he liked the way Hanks handled his downtime.
“I don’t think his transition back will be a problem,” Saban said. “The guy’s been playing around here for two or three years. He has a lot of experience. He’s been the scout team player of the week two weeks in a row because he’s been working against the defense for the scout team period. … There should be no transition period here. There should be no problems.”
