Alabama did not lose anyone from its inside linebacker position to the NFL Draft.
After not playing last season – due to knee injuries – the Crimson Tide returns both Dylan Moses and Joshua McMillon at the role.
The duo of Shane Lee and Christian Harris have a year of experience under their belts, and the trio of Ale Kaho, Jaylen Moody and Markail Benton are back too.
