Alabama football is back to work.
On Monday, two days after the Crimson Tide's A-Day spring game, head coach Kalen DeBoer said he held a short team meeting before his players were back in the weight room.
"We’re 100 days away, roughly, from training camp," DeBoer said. "We talk about taking advantage of every opportunity, and these guys (went) back to work today."
DeBoer is excited about the strides Alabama made during spring, the depth the Crimson Tide was able to create. So where does Alabama's depth cart currently stand?
Here's what Alabama's post-A-Day depth chart looks like as the Crimson Tide prep for summer.
Thanks to Ryan Grubb, Alabama football fans know who the Crimson Tide's starting quarterback would be if the Florida State game was sooner rather than later.
While the top two spots are seemingly secured, Daniel Hill, the 2024 four-star, "maybe stood out as much as anybody this spring" according to Grubb, even with new Louisiana transfer Dre Washington and four-star freshman AK Dear fighting for reps.
DeBoer said he had high expectations for Isaiah Horton coming in. And through spring practice, the Miami transfer "has definitely not let us down."
Germie Bernard remains the mainstay. But Rico Scott is pushing for playing time, something DeBoer said he and the rest of the program expected.
Alabama prides itself on versatility instead of having a true "slot" receiver. Nevertheless, Lotzeir Brooks is a member of Alabama's 2025 wide receiver class DeBoer thinks the Crimson Tide "nailed."
Jay Lindsey, Grubb said, is a "true anchored Y" tight end. And while Lindsey was the only scholarship tight end available, it's one that still has its spots secured.
Alabama did not get a taste of what Danny Lewis Jr. or Kaleb Edwards could do in the spring. Stay tuned.
When talking about the offensive line, both Grubb and DeBoer raved about Olaus Alinen and his versatility and, potentially, his ability to play every offensive line spot but center. Praise was also apparent for true freshman Jackson Lloyd. But there's not much room between Kadyn Proctor and a true freshman at left tackle.
A position battle rages on.
Behind Parker Brailsford, Alabama football continues to see Geno VanDeMark, who is also in the running for a starting left guard spot, as invaluable.
Starter is set. A star freshman may not be too far behind though, whether it's on the right or left side.
Alabama views Wilkin Formby as its "veteran" tight end. The Crimson Tide will need Formby to play like it too, especially without much proven depth behind him.
Kane Wommack trusts LT Overton as a player ready to take the next step, to dominate SEC offensive lines.
Alabama seemingly has its starter solidified. Behind Keenan the questions become a little more murky.
Expectations are high for James Smith. Jeremiah Beaman "look his game to another level in the spring," Wommack said. Good news for the Crimson Tide on the interior.
Alabama could be as many as five deep at its wolf outside linebacker position with redshirt freshman Noah Carter pushing for playing time and true freshman Justin Hill also making noise this spring.
Deontae Lawson was out this spring, but is clearly the linebacker room's leader. With Nikhai Hill-Green and QB Reese in the fold too, the Crimson Tide could have much more depth than it originally thought.
These positions could be interchangeable for Alabama. Justin Jefferson's return will help the Crimson Tide's depth dramatically.
Position battle rages on at the nickel. But a succession plan between DaShawn Jones and Dre Kirkpatrick Jr. seems to be in place.
Domani Jackson is a clear starter. But it's going to be hard to keep Dijon Lee off the field this fall.
The addition of Cameron Calhoun along with California cornerbacks Zabien Brown and Chuck McDonald should put Alabama in the running for one of the deepest defensive back rooms in the SEC.
With Keon Sabb heading into his final season of eligibility, Alabama seems to have its next starter already waiting in the wings in true freshman Ivan Taylor.
Bray Hubbard shined in Sabb's place in 2024. But don't expect Zavier Mincey to just sit and wait his turn.
With Alex Asparuhov out for spring, Blake Doud has been the leader of the punting unit. This battle is by no means finished, especially with such big shoes to fill.
Alabama has its Graham Nicholson successor in place, one that has impressed DeBoer throughout spring.
Alabama found Kneeland Hibbett's replacement out West.
