As we continue through the offseason, Roll Tide Wire has decided to bring fans a quick snapshot of each scholarship player listed on Alabama’s 2020 football roster.
Each day, we’ll release two player profiles giving fans a glimpse into the players who will be available this upcoming season. Whether that’s size, classification, hometowns or recruiting rankings coming out of high school, we’ve got you covered.
Also included in each article is a quick recap letting you know what to expect from that player for the upcoming 2020 season and beyond.
Next up on the list is redshirt junior linebacker Dylan Moses out of Alexandria (La.).
Dylan Moses, Inside Linebacker
Height: 6-3 / Weight: 235
Class: Redshirt junior
Hometown: Alexandria (La.)
High School: IMG Academy (Fla.)
HS ranking (247Sports): 5-star / No. 13 overall / No. 2 OLB / No. 3 FLA
HS ranking (Rivals): 5-star / No. 32 overall / No. 2 OLB / No. 7 FLA
Analysis: Getting Dylan Moses back from an ACL injury that ended his season before it began will be huge for the Alabama defense. In fact, it could be argued that Moses was the single-most important player — regardless of position — on the roster last season.
At 6-foot-3, 235 pounds, he brings a combination of size, length and elite closing speed to the table while also being an effective, impactful linebacker stopping the run, in pass coverage and getting after the quarterback.
Moses will almost certainly resume his roll as one of the best off-ball linebackers in the country en route to being a top 15-20 pick come next April during the 2020 NFL Draft.
Alabama fans will be thrilled to see No. 32 roaming the field once again for the Crimson Tide.
