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 graduate linebacker Joshua McMillon out of Memphis (Tenn.).
Joshua McMillon, Inside Linebacker
Height: 6-3 / Weight: 237
Class: Graduate Student
Hometown: Memphis (Tenn.)
High School: Whitehaven High School
HS ranking (247Sports): 4-star / No. 241 overall / No. 16 ILB / No. 9 TN
HS ranking (Rivals): 4-star / No. 249 overall / No. 11 ILB / No. 8 TN
Analysis: Joshua McMillon was afforded the rare opportunity to have a sixth year of eligibility after his 2019 season ended before it got started. A knee injury sidelined McMillon in fall camp, but he’ll be back in 2020 with a chance to earn playing time next to Dylan Moses.
Granted, McMillon’s experience advantage isn’t as significant with Christian Harris, Shane Lee and Ale Kaho all seeing significant reps last season, but he’s still a steady, veteran presence who could help on early downs and on special teams.
The depth that Alabama has at inside linebacker is more than impressive, and McMillon is a big part of that depth.
