Kelby Collins is training to play along the edge of Alabama football’s defense at bandit and working to learn how to play inside along the Tide’s defensive front this spring.
Collins transferred to Alabama from Florida at the conclusion of the 2024 football season. The Alabama native spent two seasons with the Gators and finished his time as a Gator with 23 total tackles, 1.5 sacks and one forced fumble.
The Tide’s defensive coordinator Kane Wommack dove into the way the Tide are using Collins Friday during his media availability.
“Kelby’s doing both for us,” Wommack said. “He is playing inside and outside, which is a lot to ask for a guy coming in new. But, like, like some things that I see from him, you know, he’s growing and learning into the position, learning the defense, even fundamentally how we do things versus maybe where he was before.”
Alabama football’s defensive front is expected to be a strength of the Tide’s defense, and Collins could help be a major reason why.
