Alabama football 2024 practice news: Camp storylines, depth chart predictions by Crimson Tide experts

The Alabama football schedule begins in one month, as a new era kicks off under first-year head coach Kalen DeBoer. The Crimson Tide have been one of the premier programs in college football over the past two decades with Nick Saban at the helm, so DeBoer is dealing with immense pressure entering the start of Alabama football fall camp. Proven quarterback Jalen Milroe is back this season, which takes some pressure off his new head coach. Milroe led Alabama to a College Football Playoff appearance last season and is among the 2024 Heisman Trophy favorites.

There are plenty of Alabama football depth chart questions at other positions on the Alabama football roster, which makes fall practice an important part of DeBoer's first season leading the program. The Crimson Tide football schedule begins with a home opener against Western Kentucky on Aug. 31, but which players will earn starting jobs before kickoff?

Top Alabama Crimson Tide practice storylines

Alabama will have a new starter at running back this season, with sophomore Justice Haynes and junior Jam Miller at the forefront of the conversation. Miller rushed for 201 yards and one touchdown on 41 carries last season, while Haynes finished with 168 yards and two scores on 25 attempts. They bring different styles to the table, so DeBoer could choose to use them as complimentary backs rather than a one-two punch.

Richard Young saw limited action last year as well and is expected to share carries with Haynes and Miller. Four-star freshmen Daniel Hill and Kevin Riley will try to impress running backs coach Robert Gillespie and move up the Alabama football depth chart during fall camp. Haynes, Miller and Young played a combined 178 offensive snaps in 2023, so this is one of the most inexperienced positions on the roster.

Another one of the Alabama football headlines surrounds the Crimson Tide's linebackers. There is plenty of returning experience at the inside linebacker position, with Deontae Lawson and Jihaad Campbell holding the starting jobs. Lawson started all 11 games he appeared in last season, while Campbell started eight times and played in all 13 games.

The Wolf position is largely unknown though, and there is a lack of experience at the inside linebacker position behind the aforementioned duo. They combined to play 1,195 snaps last season, while every other middle linebacker on the current roster combined to play 18 snaps. Defensive coordinator Kane Wommack will need to find his starting Wolf linebacker along with drilling down a rotation behind Lawson and Campbell.
