CB Josh Jobe, sophomore

Jobe ended the 2018-19 season playing with the first-team defense. He continued to do that in the spring, working at cornerback while Trevon Diggs and Patrick Surtain II split time at corner and Star. If Shyheim Carter lines up at safety, opposite Xavier McKinney, then Jobe will be on the field in UA’s nickel and dime formations. If it’s Carter in the slot and Jared Mayden at safety, then Jobe could join the fray in dime. Regardless, Saban views Jobe as a potential starter at corner.

“Josh Jobe has made a tremendous amount of improvement and has matured very nicely,” said Saban at SEC Media Days. “And we view him as a guy that is a potential starter and a guy that is playing in a way that, throughout the spring, that we have confidence that if he’s a starter, he can be very successful, and we can be very successful with him playing corner for us.”

LB Christopher Allen, redshirt soph

Allen is coming off an ACL injury that kept him on the sideline all of last season. He was able to practice some last fall and even more in the spring and looks to enter camp 100-percent healthy.

Alabama needs some of its young players to step up and provide quality depth behind starters Anfernee Jennings and Terrell Lewis with Eyabi Anoma entering the transfer portal again, and Allen is the leading candidate to do that. He could be the first outside ‘backer off the bench in 2019.

“He came off injury last year, and I keep trying to uplift him and motivate because he’s going to be a dangerous player,” said Moses at SEC Media Days. “He just has to keep working.”
