Jase McClellan, Roydell Williams, and Jamarion “Jam” Miller all return with experience; however, no one separated themselves as the top player in the position in 2022. Nick Saban may give McClellan the first opportunity, but Crimson Tide fans have their eyes on five-star Justice Haynes. He had a great spring, drawing praise from Saban and his teammates. Haynes recorded three touchdowns in the A-Day game, including two rushing scores. He posted 7,574 rushing yards and 95 touchdowns in high school.

If he dominates in fall camp, Haynes would put himself in the forefront to be a starter.
