Three Alabama Players Who Have The Most To Gain During The 2024 CFB Season

Multiple players on Alabama's roster enter the season as one of the more highly touted players at their position whether it is Tyler Booker and Parker Brailsford on the offensive line or quarterback Jalen Milroe, who all were named on ESPN's Top 100 list .

But some players are under the radar, with most of the country unaware of their abilities.

Every season, players go from nobodies to household names in just a matter of months.

Multiple players use the lack of media attention as a chip on their shoulder that produces an unbelievable season.

There are a plethora of players who have plenty to gain from the games this fall, but these three players in particular have the most to gain.

1. Wide receiver Germie Bernard.

The former Washington Husky is primed for a breakout season.  Last season, Bernard played behind three wide outs who were all drafted within the first three rounds of the 2024 NFL Draft and still accumulated 34 catches and 419 receiving yards.

The junior is now presumed to be the No. 1 option for Milroe and can show he is the next NFL wide out to be coached by Kalen DeBoer and JaMarcus Shephard.

Not only does Bernard have a perfect opportunity to boost his draft stock, but also an opportunity to impact Alabama's season like no other player if he becomes an elite receiver.

2. Defensive lineman LT Overton.

The transfer from Texas A&M is looking to revitalize his career after a strenuous time in College Station.

The former five-star was playing out of position for the Aggies and defensive coordinator Kane Wommack has praised Overton's perfect pedigree to play the Bandit position.

Alabama has displayed some game wreckers on its defensive line in previous years, and Overton could be that next guy.

3. Safety Keon Sabb.

Sabb played for an elite Michigan defense in 2023, but saw limited snaps because of the NFL talent ahead of him. Still, the IMG Academy product made his snaps count including six total tackles and two pass deflections in the national championship.

Since enrolling in the spring, Sabb has taken over the safety position opposite veteran Malachi Moore and has provided much needed relief in the secondary.

The former four-star is filling the hole that was left after Caleb Downs exited to Columbus and is looking to show that Downs departure wasn't nearly as big a deal as originally thought.
