CB Keisean Nixon.
Came to camp late from Juco last year so wasn't able to get a good feel for the scheme and thus didn't play much. In the 4 games he did play, he came away with 2 int's and a fumble recovery.
Also DE/Buck Danny Fennel
If you watched our bowl game with Michigan, you heard his name more than anyone. Came along well as the back up Buck last year and with a change along the line this year will see more PT. Finished the bowl game with 8 total tackles with 2 of those going for a loss.

Kicker Anders Carlson. Will out score the team put together and be MVP.

They were so limited in their ability to get the ball where they wanted it, that there are undoubtedly a number of individuals who could explode on the scene this year. I really believe that you'll see a very different personality on offense...still the run first mentality, but with a multitude of options to enhance the overall offensive output....should be an exciting year for a Tide fan.

Could finally have a tall, big bodied WR as a RZ option
That's just what y'all have been missing. Maybe this year that will finally get y'all over the hump.

Elijah Holyfield.

His name is D'Andre Swift.
As a 5-9 215 pound freshman in that loaded backfield he still managed to rush for 618 yards with a 7.6 ypc average. He can catch as well with 17 receptions and 153 yards. I think of him as Sony Michel 2.0.
Auburn knows him.
UF's Chauncey Gardner who ironically was flapping his gums during game week got to meet him in person as well. Gardner had to be carried off the field after that collision.
And to those who want to dismiss us because Michel and Chubb graduated....I think we will be just fine. After all UGA is THE running back U.
Freshman highlight reel....he is going to be a good one.

Offense Mecole Hardman. Finished the year strong. Once he minimized the drops he was a factor. Defense Tyler Clark. Was our best dlineman at the end of the year. Should be a force this year.

If he has gotten his academic issues settled, then Chauncy Rivers at State (DE) could be a breakout player this year.

Nick Coe
He is going to dominate this year.

The veteran line, Tua at QB, Jeudy, Smith, and Ruggs as the wideouts, Harris and/or Harris in the backfield. Toss in a TE here and there, or for some real fun, stick in Hurts at HB.
If I were the opposing team's DC I'd just start crying.
