Inside linebacker is a spot that will require an overhaul for the 2023 campaign, as starting MLB Henry To’o To’o is off to test the NFL waters along with another key rotational piece in Jaylen Moody. Fortunately some strong recruiting has been done in this area, enough so that there is reason for optimism. As is the case with most defensive schemes, Saban’s is at its best when he has a couple of dominant sideline-to-sideline dudes at the ILB spots.
There isn’t a single high school recruit in the mix this spring, so we should see some spirited competition among a bevy of upperclassmen.
