Some movement has happened in Alabama’s offensive depth chart for the Wisconsin game.
Two freshmen wide receivers, both former five stars, have moved up to be starters.

Ryan Williams replaces Kobe Prentice as the starter in the slot (H-position) and Caleb Odom moves up behind him. Odom, a native of Carrollton, Ga., was an explosive tight end in high school, but JaMarcus Shephard transitioned him to receiver.
The 6-foot-5, 227-pounder did enough in spring practice, fall camp, and the first two games to warrant an opportunity at more action on the field on offense. His frame and playmaking abilities will give Jalen Milroe a marquee target to connect with against the Badgers’ defense at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wis. Odom has three catches for 29 receiving yards, but he is prepared to do damage against Wisconsin’s secondary.
He is set to go work as the matchup begins at 11 a.m. CT on FOX.
Alabama fans are excited to see Odom be impactful in this contest.
