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 freshman linebacker Kevin Harris II out of Loganville (Ga.).
Kevin Harris II, Outside Linebacker
Height: 6-4 / Weight: 222
Class: Redshirt Freshman
Hometown: Loganville (Ga.)
High School: Grayson High School
HS ranking (247Sports): 4-star / No. 123 overall / No. 5 WDE / No. 15 GA
HS ranking (Rivals): 4-star / No. 211 overall / No. 8 WDE / No. 23 GA
Analysis: Kevin Harris II has an opportunity to earn snaps on defense after redshirting during his first season in Tuscaloosa. The former four-star weakside defensive end is lean at only 222 pounds, but he brings length (6-foot-4) and an excellent first step off the snap.
The game experience hasn’t come yet, but Harris will have a slight leg up on most of his competition due to being in the program for a season now. Will that help him get on the field? It could, but he’ll have to hold off the likes of Will Anderson Jr., Chris Braswell, Drew Sanders and Quandarrius Robinson.
Adding more weight and upper body strength while not sacrificing his explosiveness would help him a great deal heading into Year 2. Anywhere from the 230-240 range would be ideal for his build.
