From Mount Cody to Jesse Williams, Nick Saban has always had talent at the core of his defense. And this year is no different.

Jonathan Allen first started turning heads last year by slinging around offensive linemen like dirty laundry on his way to collecting another national title ring, and hasn’t looked back with his dominating performances so far this year.
