The Alabama defensive line room is where there seems to be the most flexibility, where there is plenty of room for overlap with the Bandit/WOLF and Bandit/interior defensive line spots. The top bandit options include Devan Thompkins, Desmond Umeozulu, Jah-Marien Latham, Fatutoa Henry and Nolan Wilson. While the top WOLF options are Yhonzae Pierre, Justin Hill, Desmond Umeozulu, Jah-Marien Latham, Xavier Griffin and Jamarion Matthews.

The Crimson Tide safety room is maybe the most impressive room on the defense. With Bray Hubbard and Keon Sabb starting, they’re both players with an argument for being the top player on the Bama defense. They also both likely could have entered the 2025 NFL Draft but instead came back to play another year in the SEC. Other notable players for Alabama at safety include Zavier Mincey, Ivan Taylor, and 5-star Jireh Edwards.
