Alabama's Depth Chart Shake-Up | Alabama Crimson Tide Football News

Alabama’s Week One depth chart reveals a seismic shift as 24 newcomers — 15 via the transfer portal — take center stage, with 9 already penciled in as starters or co-starters. Seven 2026 freshmen also crack the lineup, adding youthful energy to offense and defense. Nineteen “OR” designations signal fierce competition across key positions: left guard (Sanders/Waldrep), Bandit/DT (Thompkins), running back (four co-starters), and tight end (three co-starters). Special teams are equally crowded, with dual kickers, shared long snapper duties, and four returning-kick specialists all listed as co-starters. As the season kicks off against East Carolina, Alabama’s roster blends veteran transfers and raw talent — and the starting spots are far from settled.
