Alabama Football: Pre-Spring Practice Depth Chart

Linebackers

Outside Linebackers

Starters: Anfernee Jennings and Terrell Lewis

Backups: Eyabi Anoma and Chris Allen

Reserves: Cameron Latu

The five guys listed above make a loaded outside linebacker roster for Alabama football. If Lewis and Allen fully recover from last season’s injuries, without any loss of speed, the Tide should be a pass-rushing nightmare for opposing quarterbacks. Anoma is now near the necessary weight to be more than a pass-rushing specialist. Last season, practice reports from insiders praised Latu’s progress and potential as a big-time player.

Inside Linebackers

Starters: Dylan Moses and Ale Kaho

Backups: Josh McMillon and Jaylen Moody

Reserves: Markail Benton and Shane Lee

Talented depth at inside linebacker is still a problem for the Alabama Crimson Tide. True freshman Shane Lee enrolled early and will add depth. Josh McMillon could hold off Kaho as the starter based upon the awareness that comes from game experience. Many insiders are optimistic on Moody’s potential. The other true freshman at inside linebacker who was also a key 2019 class addition is Christian Harris. Harris will not enroll until summer. Benton has done little so far to show he is prepared for an expanded role.

Ale Kaho at 224 pounds is still a bit light for an inside role. That appears to be his only significant weakness. He is respected as a smart player who has picked up the Saban system quickly.

Dylan Moses will have to accept the full role of calling defensive signals. He can be the ‘Alpha’ the front seven needs for aggressive play.
