The inside linebacker room for Alabama football is one of the most intriguing positional conversations this offseason.

Alabama legendary LB returned to assist Crimson Tide in spring practice

Caleb Woodson, a transfer from Virginia Tech, is expected to be the Crimson Tide’s starting middle linebacker.

Kane Wommack, Alabama’s defensive coordinator, is excited about QB Reese, Luke Metz, Cayden Jones, Abduall Sanders, Jr., and Xavier Griffin.  Fall camp should provide intense competition; however, there is another athlete in the room that’s continuing to develop.

Justin Hill, a sophomore edge rusher, took time after A-Day to break down a former four-star to reporters. Duke Johnson II, a sophomore from Georgia, was the individual Hill spoke on.
