Alabama Football may be several things in 2023. Two things are not in question. Alabama will be inexperienced with only nine returning starters. Additionally, Alabama’s roster will be younger than usual.
There are 46 first or second-year scholarship players on the Alabama football roster. The number does not include new players who joined the Tide through transfer this preseason. Another telling stat is returning production. In Bill Connelly’s calculation, published by Texas A&M site Good Bull Hunting, the Alabama Crimson Tide is last in the SEC by returning just 40% production from last season.
