WAAAAY OFFSIDES

Alabama Football may be targeting one of the most important linebacker fits in the entire 2026 recruiting class — and Kenneth Simon II looks BUILT for the future of modern SEC defense.In today’s video, we break down exactly why Kenneth Simon II is generating major buzz with the Crimson Tide, how he fits into Kane Wommack’s defensive system, and why Alabama may view him as a true three-down linebacker capable of becoming a centerpiece defender in Tuscaloosa.

Alabama Football fans are expecting a much improved run game in 2026 - and for good reason. Following an embarrassing year, they want to see the Tide get back to the days of old. Under Nick Saban - Alabama's rushing attack had no problem producing in crucial college football moments, however it's been lacking big time since Kalen Deboer and Ryan Grubb has taken over. Long gone are the days of Brian Robinson, Najee Harris, and Derrick Henry, but there's light at the end of the college football tunnel as the Tide don't need a 1000 rusher to return to being elite in the run game. However - they do have to be situationally physical to come out on top of the SEC. Fans should know what to expect going into the new season, and they should also be ready for a different type of offense when the Tide take the field in Bryant Denny Stadium.

Alabama Football is in a weird place - catching a ton a strays from the college football media. But - the normal haters are gonna do that - just hate, and Joel Klatt is no different. Klatt recently joined the boys at Next Round and gave his misguided thoughts on why he's still concerned about Alabama and Kalen DeBoer headed into the 2026 college football season.Although he's technically right in some of the things he's suggesting such as having a first year quarterback in Keelon Russell or Austin Mack - again, overall Joel's comments about the Crimson Tide are just that - his biased comments.Historically - Alabama, under Nick Saban especially has performed well under year 1 qbs such as AJ McCarron, Bryce Young, and Jake Coker, but that doesn't stop the world from wanting the Tide to fall - and Klatt is doubling down on his stance. Will Alabama get other concerns such as the run game fixed under new OL coach Adrian Klemm, is Ryan Grubb is hot water? Yes and possibly yes - but ultimately Joel is using shock-journalism to get fans riled up well before we even start talking College Football Playoffs, Heisman Winners, or National Titles.

Alabama Football is entering a NEW era — and the road back to THE BAMA STANDARD starts on DEFENSE.Since the retirement of legendary Head Coach Nick Saban, the Crimson Tide has been searching for the next dominant identity on the defensive side of the ball. Under Defensive Coordinator Kane Wommack, Alabama’s defense has shown flashes of becoming one of the most physical, aggressive, and versatile units in college football once again — but 2026 could be the year it all comes together.And now… Alabama fans are starting to hear BIG buzz surrounding one rising star: QB Reese.Praised by Alabama legend Reuben Foster and earning serious attention during offseason workouts, QB Reese is quickly becoming one of the most intriguing linebackers in the SEC. His speed, versatility, football IQ, and downhill physicality could make him a centerpiece of an Alabama linebacker room that’s beginning to look terrifying for opposing offenses.

Alabama Football’s defensive coordinator Kane Wommack is VERY HIGH on his defensive unit - especially the DL! As the unit has finished in the top 10 of college football overall - should Tide fans expect a massive year from this group in 2026?Kalen DeBoer’s future may lay in the hands of a young defense that boasts a very deep secondary with stars like Keon Sabb, Dijon Lee Jr, Xavier Mincey, Bray Hubbard and Zabien Brown.But how exactly does the rest of the defense look? New transfer portal linebackers and defensive lineman are what everyone has their eye on but Wommack is confident this new group could better better than the last! Could Bama being a defense that rivals the ones Nick Saban out on the field? Roll with us and the Crimson Tide!

College football could be on the verge of another MASSIVE change — and this one could have a huge impact on Alabama football.A proposed 24-team College Football Playoff is gaining momentum after coaches voted in favor of major changes to the current system. But what does that actually mean for the future of the sport… and more importantly, what does it mean for Alabama?

Alabama is about to host one of the most important stretches of recruiting visits of the entire summer — and the names coming to Tuscaloosa could shape the future of the program.In this video, we break down Alabama’s official visitor list, highlighting the top targets, potential five-stars, and key prospects that the coaching staff is pushing hard for.

Alabama just landed another quarterback for the future — and this one is a massive long-term piece for the program.In this video, we break down everything you need to know about Charles Scott Jr., the newest signal-caller to commit to Alabama Crimson Tide.Standing at 6’5” and over 230 pounds, Scott brings elite size, a strong arm, and the kind of physical tools that immediately jump off the screen. The Richmond, Virginia native chose Alabama over major programs like Georgia, Maryland, and Virginia Tech — a huge recruiting win for Kalen DeBoer and his staff.

Is the Tide in danger of taking a smaller recruiting class as well?In this video, we break down why USC Trojans football and head coach Lincoln Riley are planning to take a smaller recruiting class this cycle — and what it really says about the future of roster building in the NIL era.With looming roster limits, increased reliance on the transfer portal, and the long-term financial impact of NIL deals, programs can’t just stack massive classes year after year anymore. Going “all-in” with NIL might land elite talent in one cycle, but it can create serious problems down the road — from budget constraints and retention issues to roster imbalance and portal dependency.

We’re breaking down the REAL chances of a return, what it would mean for the roster, and how it could instantly shift expectations heading into the season.We’re joined by Owen Barnes from Barnes on Bama to take a deep dive into the CURRENT roster, portal additions, and how this team stacks up nationally.

Alabama football is entering a new era of recruiting—and NIL is at the center of it all.In this episode of Waaaay Offsides, we break down the growing debate around NIL at the high school level versus its impact in the transfer portal, and what it all means specifically for the future of Alabama football under Kalen DeBoer. Is the real battle for talent happening before players ever step on campus? Or is the transfer portal where championships are now built?We dive into how high school NIL is changing the recruiting landscape, creating earlier financial incentives, and raising serious questions about regulation, development, and long-term roster building. Then we compare that to the transfer portal, where proven production meets big-money opportunities—and where programs like Alabama are being forced to adapt quickly.A major talking point in the fanbase right now revolves around recruiting spending and how aggressive Alabama should be with top-tier prospects like Elijah Haven. Should Alabama be investing heavily in elite high school talent to secure the future? Or is it smarter to allocate resources toward portal players who have already proven themselves at the college level?We also discuss:Whether high school NIL creates more risk than reward for programsHow the transfer portal is reshaping roster construction in TuscaloosaIf Alabama can maintain its traditional recruiting dominance in this new systemThe balance between development vs. buying proven productionWhat fans should realistically expect moving forwardThe reality is this: the NIL era isn’t coming—it’s already here. And how Alabama chooses to operate within it could define the next decade of Crimson Tide football.

Alabama is heavily in the mix for one of the most intriguing linebackers in the 2027 class — Kenneth Simon II — and his game is exactly what modern college football defenses are looking for.In this video, we break down a full scouting report on Kenneth Simon II, including verified insights from recruiting analysts and how his skillset translates to the next level.

Kalen DeBoer says EJ Crowell will be healthy by June — and that could be a MASSIVE development for Alabama’s offense heading into 2026.In this video, we break down what Crowell’s return really means and why this isn’t just injury news — it could completely change the identity of Alabama’s offense. After struggling to establish a consistent run game in 2025, the Tide may have finally found their answer in the backfield.We cover:Why being healthy in June is critical for early impactHow Crowell could step in as a potential RB1 immediatelyWhat this means for Alabama’s run game, play-action, and overall balanceHow his presence could open up the passing game for a bigger WR/TE groupWhy this might be the missing piece Alabama neededIf Crowell lives up to the hype, this offense could go from inconsistent to dangerous in a hurry.

Alabama’s wide receiver and tight end rooms are undergoing a MAJOR transformation heading into 2026 — and the difference from 2025 might be bigger than you think.In this video, we break down the full 2025 vs 2026 comparison and explain why this new-look group could be perfectly built for a faster, more physical offense. From noticeable increases in size and weight to improved depth across both rooms, this isn’t just a roster update… it’s a complete shift in identity.We dive into:The size and weight differences between 2025 and 2026 WRs & TEsWhy adding just a few pounds per player can change EVERYTHING on the fieldHow the 2026 roster creates more matchup problems for defensesWhy depth — not just star power — could be the biggest advantageHow this group fits into a modern, physical offensive systemThe numbers don’t lie — Alabama got bigger, deeper, and more versatile. And that could make this offense one of the most dangerous in college football.

Alabama football is deep into spring practice, but most of the conversation has focused on the obvious topics like the quarterback battle and the new offensive weapons.

Alabama football might be on the verge of making a move that could completely reshape its pass rush in 2026—and it centers around Devan Thompkins.In this video, we break down why the Crimson Tide could benefit from lining Thompkins up at Bandit instead of keeping him on the interior defensive line. From maximizing his explosiveness and length on the edge, to creating more one-on-one opportunities as a pass rusher, this potential position switch could unlock a much higher ceiling for Alabama’s defense.But this isn’t just about Thompkins.One of the biggest factors in this conversation is Steve Mbououa, who is quietly positioning himself to make a name this spring. If Mbououa continues to emerge as a reliable and disruptive presence on the interior, it could free up valuable snaps at Bandit—giving Alabama the flexibility to experiment with Thompkins on the edge without sacrificing strength inside. That kind of depth and versatility is exactly what elite defenses are built on.We also dive into:The key differences between Bandit and interior DL in Alabama’s schemeWhy modern offenses make edge defenders more valuable than everThe risks involved in moving Thompkins outsideAnd what this could mean for Alabama’s overall defensive ceiling in 2026.
