### **2025 Alabama Defensive Depth Chart Projection After Second Scrimmage**

Following the second scrimmage of fall camp, Alabama’s defense is taking shape under new defensive coordinator Kane Wommack. With a solid mix of returning veterans, rising young stars, and a few key transfers, the Crimson Tide’s defense looks poised to be one of the SEC’s most complete units this season.

#### **Defensive Line**

The defensive front is led by **LT Overton** at the Bandit position, who brings senior experience and consistent production. Behind him are talented contributors like **Kelby Collins** and **Jordan Renaud**, with promising players such as **Keon Keeley** and **Kevonte Henry** pushing for reps.

At **Nose Tackle**, **Tim Keenan III** returns to anchor the middle. His backup, **Jeremiah Beaman**, has shown growth, while **Steve Mboumoua** adds athletic depth. At **Defensive Tackle**, **James Smith** is expected to take the lead role, with support from **Edric Hill**, **Isaia Faga**, and freshman **London Simmons**.

#### **Linebackers**

The edge-rushing **Wolf** position is headlined by **Qua Russaw**, who has taken a step forward. Former lineman **Jah-Marien Latham** has transitioned to the edge successfully, while **Yhonzae Pierre**, **Noah Carter**, and freshman **Justin Hill** provide depth and energy.

Inside, **Justin Jefferson** leads the group at **Mike linebacker**, and **Nikhai Hill-Green**—a transfer—offers veteran versatility. **Sting linebacker** is typically held down by **Deontae Lawson**, though he’s easing back from injury. Until he’s fully back, **QB Reese**, **Cayden Jones**, and **Luke Metz** are handling the position well, building valuable experience.

#### **Secondary**

The cornerback spots are in good hands. **Domani Jackson**, a veteran transfer, and sophomore standout **Zabien Brown** are the projected starters. **Cameron Calhoun** and five-star freshman **Dijon Lee** give Alabama more options and long-term depth.

At the nickel **Husky** position, **DaShawn Jones** leads the way with solid tackling and coverage skills. **Dre Kirkpatrick Jr.** and **Red Morgan** are pushing for time and bring flexibility to multiple spots in the secondary.

The safeties are one of the strengths of this defense. **Keon Sabb** returns at free safety and has emerged as a vocal leader. **Bray Hubbard**, now starting at strong safety, has shown great instincts and range. **Zay Mincey**, **Ivan Taylor**, and **Kameron Howard** round out a young but capable depth chart.

#### **Outlook**

Alabama’s defense appears both deep and balanced. The line is powerful and versatile, linebackers are experienced and athletic, and the secondary has the potential to be elite. Wommack’s influence is starting to show—especially in how aggressively the defense has played during scrimmages. If the Tide stays healthy and continues to grow under the new system, this group could rank among the SEC’s best by season’s end.
