5-star Dylan Moses could be a force at LB for Alabama
Dylan Moses
School: IMG Academy (Bradenton, Fla.)
Position: Linebacker
Height/weight: 6-foot-3, 235 pounds
Also considered: LSU, Florida State, Texas, Florida, Houston
247Sports composite ranking: Moses is a five-star recruit, rated as the No. 13 prospect nationally, the No. 2 outside linebacker and No. 3 prospect from Florida.
How he fits into Alabama's plans: Following the national title game loss to Clemson, Alabama bid adieu to its top inside linebacker, Reuben Foster. Foster hosted Moses during his official visit. And with 4.5 speed, Moses has the physical ability to develop into the kind of impact player Foster was during his tenure in Tuscaloosa.
Projection for 2017: Depending on what Alabama does with Rashaan Evans, it's conceivable that Moses could compete for serious playing time at one of the most important positions in Nick Saban's defensive scheme. Then again, he could have the opportunity to make his mark as an edge rusher.

5-star OL Alex Leatherwood could be Alabama's next Cam Robinson
Alex Leatherwood
School: Washington (Pensacola, Fla.)
Position: Offensive tackle
Height/weight: 6-foot-6, 330 pounds
Also considered: Florida, Michigan, Auburn, Georgia
247Sports composite ranking: Leatherwood is a five-star recruit, rated as the No. 4 prospect nationally, the No. 1 offensive tackle and No. 1 prospect from Florida.
How he fits into Alabama's plans: Cam Robinson started at tackle for Alabama as a true freshman in 2014. Jonah Williams did it last year. Leatherwood could be next. Like Robinson and Williams were, Leatherwood is a five-star prospect ranked among the best players in his class. Leatherwood enrolled at Alabama in January.
Projection for 2017: With Robinson gone, Alabama could move Williams to left tackle. If it does, Leatherwood will one of several players competing for Williams' vacated job at right tackle, along with players such as junior Lester Cotton, redshirt freshman Scott Lashley and four-star JUCO tackle Elliot Baker. At worst, he appears to have a good chance to be a top backup.
