Word is Williams may move to C in the spring. Leatherwood to LT/RT. Of course, Tua's a left-hander so RT is his blindside.
Hope Wills gets on the field too.

I cannot believe how awesome this offense is going to be. Alabama can do whatever they want.

Will be interesting to see who gets the nod at nose guard. Hell Daron Payne started as a freshman with Reed and Robinson on the roster. He's a monster that will be hard to replace.

I'd put Jalen in sometimes as HB to open up things

Since Saban seems to reward seniority now I have a hard time seeing Wills take RT even though he is a better football player than Womack. Leatherwood simply has to be one of the five and Wills should be but I really don't trust Saban to play the best guys like he used to.

No way Leatherwood comes off LT....Williams to C or back to RT maybe?Womack at guard would be awesome!

What about Ben Davis?

The ONLY reason I put Mathis at DT is because an insider I know on Twitter is CRAZY about Mathis, and says he's the best players from the 2017 class.

Good one!!

That’s one inexperienced secondary

Wills deserves to be a starter, I just didn't have the guts to take off Cotton or Womack knowing Saban likes vets.

I have been wrong before but how could anybody possibly believe that? First, we hauled in a ridiculous amount top 3 players at their position including 2 or 3 number ones. On top of that we were a little thin on the DL and Mathis had to take a redsirt. With that said, I hope he blows up next year and earns the start but I won't hold my breath.

QB- Tua
RB- Harrisx2
WR- Jeudy
WR- Smith
WR- Ruggs
TE- Irv Smith
LT- Leatherwood
LG- Jonah
C- Piersbacher
RG- Womack
RT- Wills
No way do I see the young beasts not getting on the field. Jonah could be the C and someone else win LG.
Not even going to try the secondary. Thompson is pretty much the only guarantee IMO

Where are people getting the Jonah to center stuff?
Regardless I can't see a line in 2018 that doesn't have Leatherwood at LT. Jonah maybe back to RT. If Jonah does indeed move to center then Wills and Womack battle for RT with Womack maybe also having a chance at RG.
QB - Tua
RB - D Harris
WR - Jeudy
WR - Ruggs
WR - Smith
TE - Smith
LT - Leatherwood
LG - Pierschbacher
C - Kennedy
RG - Cotton/Womack
RT - Williams
DE - Davis
DT - Dwight/Mathis
DE - Buggs
OLB - Lewis
OLB - Jennings/Miller
ILB - Wilson
ILB - Moses
CB - Carter
CB - Diggs??
S - McKinney
S - Thompson
If I'm being honest I'd like to see Diggs back at WR. I saw some promise out of him there as a freshman based on his size and physicality. This year was a big waste for him. Maybe he'll get it together on defense.

I'm confused why we would move a 6'5 All American LT to Center. We're better off moving a guard that has a better frame for it.

Leatherwood is a monster.

Yes sir he is. As a high school senior he dominated camp circuits. The guy is a more dominant run blocker than Cam Robinson was imo. It was surprising that he didn't start this last season. Our OL should be elite next season and it wasn't too shabby last season.

With Tua at QB, I would move Jonah to RT because he did a really good job his freshman year. My line would look like.....
LT: Leatherwood
LG:Cotton
C: Piersbacher
RG:Wills
RT: Williams
LT: Leatherwood
LG:Cotton
C: Piersbacher
RG:Wills
RT: Williams

It worked with Barrett Jones.
