was there no news on the defensive side of the ball yet? I am interested in how the secondary is going to play out.

Alabama cornerbacks 'all competing' for starting spots'

I hope it's not a CB by committee approach at the 2nd CB spot the way it has been the last 2 years but, based on this quote, it might be:

Defensive notes

quote:

— Senior cornerback Cyrus Jones and senior outside linebacker Denzel Devall were full participants in practice after sitting out spring practice while rehabbing from offseason surgeries. Both were medically cleared following spring practice. Jones and sophomore Tony Brown were the first-team cornerbacks in drills during the portion of practice open to the media. Devall and junior Ryan Anderson were the first-team outside linebackers.

— Senior Dillon Lee — who can play both outside and inside linebacker — was part of the first pairing at inside linebacker during drills with senior Reggie Ragland.

— The first group along the defensive line during drills consisted of junior A'Shawn Robinson, senior Jarran Reed and senior nose tackle Darren Lake. Junior Jonathan Allen, junior Dalvin Tomlinson and sophomore nose tackle Josh Frazier were the second-team. The third group consisted of senior D.J. Pettway, redshirt freshman O.J. Smith and sophomore Da'Shawn Hand.

— Senior Bradley Sylve and redshirt freshman Marlon Humphrey were the second pairing at cornerback during drills behind Jones and Brown. Redshirt sophomore Anthony Averett and junior Maurice Smith were third. Freshmen Minkah Fitzpatrick and Kendall Sheffield were fourth.



Pettway and Hand with the 3rd group? God our DL depth is ridiculous
