Alabama Football: Listing five impactful true freshmen for this season

Without spring football, everyone’s attention has turned to the regular season. 

Alabama fans will be excited for fall camp, as it will be the time it can look at returning players and freshmen that intend on making an impact.

Throughout his five national championships with the Crimson Tide, Nick Saban has had a lot of freshmen emerge as starters or contributors.

This season will not be any different, especially with how Alabama signed a bunch of talented in-state players in the 2020 class. According to Justin Smith, the lead scouting and recruiting analyst for Touchdown Alabama Magazine, the Tide has five 5-stars in the class – including three (Bryce Young, Chris Braswell and Drew Sanders) with diamond grades of one. 

In its journey to return as champions, Alabama will need a few young faces to step up.
