Fifteen members of the 2019 Alabama football signing class got a winter head start by enrolling early. A dozen of their classmates will have joined them in Tuscaloosa with a day or two of Memorial Day. Exact arrival dates are impacted by some late graduations.
The 15 got a big boost by going through the fourth quarter program and spring training. Some of them have a good opportunity to be in a Crimson Tide two-deep by the end of fall camp. A couple might earn starting roles.
The 12 come in behind, needing to quickly acclimate to college life and with much football knowledge to absorb in a limited amount of time.
