Alabama linebacker Caleb Woodson was nothing short of elite during the Tide’s 45-17 win over Kentucky last weekend. 

Woodson originally transferred to Alabama in January after spending the first three years of his career at Virginia Tech. The veteran has made an instant impact on the Tide’s defensive unit throughout the early stages of 2026, and Woodson continues to emerge as one of the most important transfer portal additions made this winter.
