Freshman Kadyn Proctor is likely to challenge him this August. Pritchett had that role for the spring game but struggled, allowing multiple sacks. 37): Pritchett is likely to be one of Alabama's top three offensive tackles this season - the question is whether he will start or not at left tackle.

He had surgery on his knee this winter at LSU. Anderson played in only one game last season, against Austin Peay, after dealing with a knee injury. But in the era of the transfer portal, the loss of Anderson to rival LSU has barely registered on the radar of national discussion about Alabama's 2023 team. 35): A few years ago, a player of Anderson's recruiting stature leaving Alabama after one season would have been the talk of an offseason. The range of outcomes for Simpson remains wide - anything from winning Alabama's starting competition and becoming the next star Tide quarterback, to falling behind Milroe and Buchner and becoming a transfer candidate after the season. There is not much fans have learned about him since, outside of late-game appearances and his two spring games. 26): Simpson arrived at Alabama in December 2021, practicing with the team before its College Football Playoff run. He started Alabama's spring game and seems to enter August in a competition to start with Georgia transfer Trezmen Marshall and others. 21): Campbell converted to inside linebacker after arriving at Alabama and impressed coaches enough to see an extended look in the Sugar Bowl at the end of the season, above some other less-experienced players. Alexander appeared in only four games last season, mostly on special teams, and redshirted. The bad news: Alabama signed a pair of 2023 five-star edge players in Keon Keeley and Yhonzae Pierre, and competition for playing time behind Turner and Braswell this season should be fierce. The good news for Alexander's chances of seeing the field: Anderson is gone to the NFL. Instead, Alexander was buried in a deep room of pass rushers that included Anderson, Dallas Turner and Chris Braswell. 18 in 247 Sports' industry composite): Alexander did not burst onto the scene as a freshman like Will Anderson did three seasons earlier, but most do not. Here is a look back at Alabama's 2022 recruiting haul: Outside of Simpson, Alabama has found a pair of starters in the trenches in guard Tyler Booker and defensive lineman Jaheim Oatis, while other players - including a few receivers - have an opportunity to break out in 2023.

With another five star quarterback in Julian Sayin months away from joining the team, the quarterback room with an unusual five scholarship players is engaged in a game of musical chairs. But Simpson will enter August in a three-way quarterback competition with Jalen Milroe and transfer Tyler Buchner that will shape the trajectory of Simpson's career at Alabama. The Tide signed three players who finished the cycle as five stars in 247 Sports industry composite, including quarterback Ty Simpson. During the week of Independence Day, Bama247 is taking a look back at Alabama's past five recruiting classes and how they have fared:Ī year-and-a-half after most of members of Alabama's 2022 recruiting class arrived on campus, some of last season's freshmen have separated themselves from the pack while others remain mostly unknowns.
