By all indications it will be what Wommack ran at his DC and HC stops preceding his move to Alabama. 4-2-5 with essentially 3 safeties: one a middle of the field safety, one a safety/corner hybrid, one a safety/linebacker hybrid.
My biggest concern with Alabama's defense in 2024 is cornerback and really just the field corner position. Currently have a 2nd year and 1st year player as the probably depth chart there.

FWIW, I think a 4-2-5 with traditional FS, CB/S hybrid, and Star provides a lot of flexibility.

This is an important area where those saying “nickel” are wrong. A nickel back is generally a third corner / coverage guy.
Wommack’s defense, at least at South Alabama, was definitely a three safety look. Yam Banks, who transferred to Ole Miss this offseason, played the “husky position” which was essentially an in the box safety at 6-1 208. Jalen Jordan, who ironically had transferred from Ole Miss two years before, played the rover position at 5’9 and 190 or so.
