Top Alabama Crimson Tide practice storylines

Alabama lost its top two running backs from last season, as Jase McCellan left for the NFL and Roydell Williams entered the college football transfer portal. Offensive coordinator Nick Sheridan still has plenty of talent to work with heading into the 2024 season, though, as Justice Haynes and Jam Miller could form one of the conference's best duos. Haynes rushed 25 times for 168 yards and two touchdowns during his freshman season, while Miller had 41 carries for 201 yards and a score as a sophomore.

They are currently sitting atop the Alabama football depth chart, but the title of "starter" has not been drilled down yet. Freshmen Richard Young and Daniel Hill are both competing for playing time as well, making this an important fall camp for Alabama's running back room. The Crimson Tide are known for producing strong running backs, so all four of those players are worth keeping tabs on before the season begins.

Another one of the Alabama football headlines surrounds the Crimson Tide's linebackers. Alabama has a long history of producing great linebackers, and the coaching staff needs strong seasons from their inside linebackers in 2024. Deontae Lawson and Jihaad Campbell are back after making 19 combined starts last season, with Lawson recording 67 tackles, three sacks and 21 pressures as a first-year starter.

Lawson is the leader of the defense heading into the season, wearing the green dot as the player who will receive radio communications from defensive coordinator Kane Wommack. The outside Wolf position is unknown, making it a key positional battle during fall camp. Quandarrius Robinson, Keanu Koht, Qua Russaw and Yhonzae Pierre are all being closely monitored in practice as they try to earn playing time ahead of the season opener.
