Former 4* Nigel Bowden - ILB (think he beats out Jacob Sealand pretty early in the season.
He played last year as a RS Fr (had 5 TFL & 3.5 Sacks) and was productive but Stephen Weatherly could be outstanding as an OLB in Mason's 3-4. 6'5 255 pd for HS WR, super quick off the edge but athletic enough to drop into coverage.

Agreed on Shon...hope he's as good as advertised
For Bama
On D:
Tim Williams - RSed last year to gain wt but an elite pass rushers skill set. Was an absolute animal pass rushing and in the flats and coverage at Aday
Reggie Ragland - Struggled to learn playcalls and checks his whole career for the ILB always had the athleticism and physicality. Looked like a totally different player than I've seen since he's been on Bama's campus on Saturday, had a gang load of tackles, had the check downs and was flying around making plays all day. Could be Bama's answer to losing Mosley.
Honorable Mention - DJ Pettway - Gonna be a force this year and may end up being the best player on D by the end of the year. Recognition though because of the ACT Card incident
On O:
Alphonse Taylor - Came in as a NG/DT but had horrible technique in particular looked like an OL so he switched over took a yr to get playbook down, now looking like he will be a high impact starter at RG replacing Steen.
ArDarius Stewart - Came in as an accomplished Athlete who played QB at Fultondale HS but mostly a runner. Showed versatility this Spring by playing S to provide depth then switching back to WR and showing his skills in the Aday game with a coup,e really impressive catches including 1 TD catch. Chris Black, expected slot WR looked less than stellar (had a few drops although the QBs were terrible) Stewart will provide good depth at slot WR behind Black and likely make a name for himself this year with his speed and acrobatic catches.
