How things can change. At the start of fall practice, it looked like Alabama would start two veterans at inside linebacker. Dylan Moses started a couple games as a freshman and then every game last year while Joshua McMillon, though untested in actual games, was in his fifth year in the program.
Less than a month later, two true freshmen, one of whom has only been on campus for a few months, trotted out at inside linebacker. Christian Harris got rave reviews for his performance in fall camp, and he began running with the first team after McMillon’s injury.
