Alabama fans have become accustomed to true freshmen having an immediate impact when they arrive on campus. Players like DeVonta Smith, Tua Tagovailoa and Will Anderson Jr. all made early contributions during their freshman seasons at Alabama.
During last year’s recruiting cycle, Coach Saban and his staff were able to bring in a top-tier recruiting class. The class was highlighted by some of the nation’s best players like quarterback Ty Simpson, edge rusher Jeremiah Alexander and offensive tackle Tyler Booker.
This year could be difficult for the freshmen to see the field, but it isn’t out of the question. Some positions still have battles like offensive tackle and wide receiver.
Today, Roll Tide Wire will take a look at five freshmen that Alabama fans should keep an eye on for the upcoming season.
