Outside linebacker
SAM -- Christian Miller, Terrell Lewis, Jamey Mosley, Ben Davis, Cameron Latu
JACK -- Anfernee Jennings, Christopher Allen, Jarez Parks, Eyabi Anoma, Jordan Davis
Reasoning: Four of the five linebackers the Tide signed this cycle are considered either outside linebackers or defensive ends, although they could eventually move inside or permanently put their hand in the dirt. Outside of Mekhi Brown transferring, though, all of UA’s OLBs will be back in 2018, and the four newcomers, including Parks and Anoma, will provide plenty of depth.
That’s something that was needed this past season when Miller and Lewis, who will once again lead the outside ‘backers, went down with injuries in the season opener against Florida State.

Inside linebacker
MIKE -- Mack Wilson, Keith Holcombe, VanDarius Cowan
WILL -- Dylan Moses, Joshua McMillon, Markail Benton, Jaylen Moody
Reasoning: Players like Davis and Latu could potentially move inside, but as things currently stand during the offseason, Alabama will have seven inside linebackers to work with. That’s not unlike the 2017 situation, however, when Shaun Dion Hamilton sustained a knee injury after the bye week and Moses injured his foot near the end of the season, forcing both out.
Moses -- before his setback -- and Wilson had to learn quickly and benefited from the experience they gained. Players like Cowan and Benton, and possibly Moody, will need to do the same.
