On Sunday night before Media Days began, Alabama quietly released the updated football roster to the public via both a media guide and on RollTide.com.

Obviously, I spent my work day on Monday combing through the changes and updating all of my spreadsheets with players and scholarship counts. As such, I will now share with you the highlights.

  • WR #6- Devonta Smith, 6’1” 165
  • WR #11- Henry Ruggs III, 6’0” 175
  • TE #44- Kedrick James, 6’5” 272
  • OL #62- Hunter Brannon, 6’4” 290
  • DL #89- LaBryan Ray, 6’5” 272
  • DL #93- Phidarian Mathis, 6’4” 309
  • LB #36- Markail Benton, 6’2” 237
