I feel like I do this every year, so here’s my best shot.

QB: Tua
RB: Harris
WRX: Smith
WRY: Waddle
WRZ: Ruggs
SLOT: Jeudy
TE: Forristall
LT: Leatherwood
LG: Brown
C: Owens
RG: Womack
RT: Wills

SSDE: Davis
NT: Dale/Sopsher
WSDE: Ray
SLB: Lewis
JLB: Jennings/Anoma
WLB: Shane Lee
MLB: Moses
SS: McKinney
FS: Mayden
STAR: Carter
BCB: Surtain
FCB: Diggs

Side Notes:

Ekiyor starts until Brown gets back from suspension.

Evan Neal could steal a spot on the OL

Sopsher could co-start with Dale. They’re twins. Think Mathis moves to SSDE Behind Davis

Alfano could play as much as a starter.

6 DB dime package Jobe moves to field corner, Diggs to STAR, Carter to safety, McKinney to money.
Other option is Jordan Battle coming in and competing at FS

Sanders will be RB2 over Robinson (unpopular opinion for some)

Anoma imo will be Tim Williams 2.0 this year from 2015 where he came in on 3rd and longs with the dime defense.

A lot of people probably would pick McMillon to start at Will and he may, but I feel like Lee offers more talent wise, speed, and pass rush. If he learns the defense to Saban’s standard, I think it’s a no brainer.

I would say Kaho has a shot but idk if he will be able to even play without having some sort of mental breakdown

Kedrick James = Jeremy Sprinkle after suspension

I’ve got Brown on the bench, Neal at LT, and Leatherwood at guard.

I think Dale gets far more snaps than Sophser.

I’ve got McMillon and Robinson over Sanders and Lee, but you pretty much already addressed that.

I don’t think Alfano plays that much outside of mop up unless we see injuries.

Sopsher needs to drop a lot of bad weight this summer. But has a huge upside.

That’s 12 spots...is this just a guess depending on whether the offense starts with 4 WRs or a TE? Judging from the Spring Game, 2 TEs might be more prevalent than 4 WR sets.

Was just a way to add Waddle in as a starter. They all 4 can play each WR position. Only time Alabama goes 4 wides is air raid packages in 2 minute or desperation

Saban instituted a new rule that the NCAA accepted. We get an extra WR once every 4 plays while 2 TE are on the field. May seem unfair but all you have to do is play a zone, ask ND they know :)

You don’t need to make an extra slot to add Waddle as a starter, lol that beast is going to be a starter (sorry DeVonta or Ruggs).

Anoma, Lewis, & Jennings could be the best OLB we’ve had besides the Tim Williams/Ryan Anderson combo
