Alabama needs more guys to play well at linebacker, per Nick Saban

Alabama football is looking for its next group of starting inside linebackers during fall camp after the departures of Henry To’oto’o and Jaylen Moody.

Saban was asked about his confidence level in this group during his Tuesday press conference.

“I think that we need to continue to improve,” Saban said. “I think we’ve got a couple guys that are playing really well. I think we need to get more guys to play well at that position. So, it’s a work in progress for some of the guys, but I’m also pleased with the way some guys are progressing, and we just have to continue to work on that group as a whole to get more and more guys, who can contribute in a positive way.”

Alabama returns one linebacker in Deontae Lawson, who enjoyed significant playing time last season with the Tide. The Mobile, Alabama native started in four games during the 2022 football season. He finished the year with 51 total tackles and four pass deflections.
