Pre-Spring Position Preview: Breaking down the Alabama RBs

A closer look at the Alabama running backs ahead of spring football practice

Before we know it, new Alabama head football coach Kalen DeBoer will hit the practice field with his Crimson Tide players for the first time when spring practice gets underway in March.

With the retirement of the legendary Nick Saban, there have not been this many question marks surrounding the football program since 2007 when Saban took over.

Contrary to popular belief, Alabama still has one of the most talented rosters in the country and should be right in the thick of the college football playoff conversation.

As the anticipation builds leading up to spring practice, Roll Tide Wire will preview each position group. We have already looked at the quarterbacks, now we will move on to the running backs.

Alabama’s depth at RB could be key to success in 2024

Depth at running back won’t be an issue for Kalen DeBoer and Alabama in 2024

What an offseason it has been for the Alabama football program. Legendary head coach Nick Saban announced his retirement, Kalen DeBoer was brought in as his replacement, and we have seen the transfer portal give and take for the Crimson Tide.

Not that the storm is completely over or anything, but we do have a few moments to collect our breath and our thoughts as we start to look ahead to the 2024 season in Tuscaloosa.

Even with the roster turnover, Alabama remains extremely deep at most positions but you could make the argument that running back may be the deepest and could prove to be one of the keys to success for Coach DeBoer in year one at Alabama.

Let’s take a look at the loaded backfield for the Crimson Tide and what each player’s role could potentially be in 2024.

5 Alabama players who could emerge in the Rose Bowl

Roll Tide Wire takes a look at five players that could emerge for Alabama in this year’s Rose Bowl against Michigan.

Over the years, Alabama has had several players come from being “under the radar” to making an immediate impact. One player that comes to mind is former five-star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. The Hawaii native was called on in the biggest game of his life and made a residual impact that will forever be remembered.

Now, the tables have turned and it could be someone else’s turn to have a residing effect on this year’s Rose Bowl game against Michigan. Who will it be?

Jalen Milroe to Jam Miller for a touchdown has Tide fans excited!

After a lackluster start offensively, Jalen Milroe and the Alabama offense connect on their first touchdown of the day to give the Crimson Tide a 10-7 lead over the Georgia Bulldogs.

Milroe was able to find a streaking Jam Miller on a wheel route out of the backfield for a 28-yard touchdown.

Milroe has struggled through the air early on, but Alabama’s running game has been strong led by senior Roydell Williams who is filling in for the injured Jase McClellan.

Social media is loving Alabama’s recent play in Atlanta and was quick to react to the Tide taking a second-quarter lead over the Bulldogs.

Nick Saban provides brief injury report after first practice of fall camp

Alabama football head coach Nick Saban provides brief injury report after first practice of fall camp!

On Thursday, [autotag]Nick Saban[/autotag] and the Alabama football team returned to the practice field to begin preseason practice for the 2023 season. Excitement and anticipation are in the air as the Tide faithful have hopes for the team to hoist another national championship trophy.

Following Thursday’s practice, Coach Saban would address members of the media to give some insights on the first day and to provide an update on the team. Fortunately, for the Tide, the injury report is rather short as fall camp opens. Saban provided this brief injury report before fielding questions on Thursday.

“From a personnel standpoint, Thaiu Jones-Bell had some medical issues. So he’s on a medical this year. I think everybody worked together, except Jamarion Miller will be out for a couple days. He’s got a strained quad.

Roll Tide Wire reported before practice that Thaiu Jones-Bell was no longer listed on the official Alabama football roster, but the Jam Miller news was something that had not been reported on yet.

It appears Miller’s injury is not significant which is good. news considering he is expected to play a pivotal role in Alabama’s rushing attack this fall. During his freshman season in 2022, Miller rushed for 223 yards and two touchdowns on 33 carries.

Roll Tide Wire will continue to follow Alabama football during fall camp and will provide any and all updates as they become available.
