Caleb Woodson Setting Alabama Defense Standard | Huntsville News

Alabama’s defense is firing on all cylinders thanks to standout linebacker Caleb Woodson, who transferred in from Virginia Tech and has already made an immediate impact. Starting both games, including their big win over Kentucky, Woodson racked up two sacks and a team-high 12 tackles — not to mention a crucial play that stopped a potential explosive run. Defensive coordinator Kane Wommack raves about his relentless energy, calling him the standard for how hard the team must play. Woodson’s dominance earned him SEC co-defensive player of the week honors alongside teammate Luke Metz. With Florida State looming this Saturday, Woodson’s intensity and leadership are poised to be even more critical as Alabama looks to keep setting the tone on defense.
