Alabama’s Chris Allen to become latest marquee edge rusher

With the rough news this week on junior Terrell Lewis tearing an anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, Alabama football fans will return to a familiar situation of having to witness a young player earn his stripes in the Nick Saban system. Injuries have helped pushed a lot of talented guys to the forefront – including receivers Amari Cooper and Calvin Ridley on offense, while inside linebackers Rashaan Evans, Mack Wilson and Dylan Moses fit the bill on defense.

Fortunately, the Crimson Tide has more depth at outside linebacker this season.

To pair beside Christian Miller and Anfernee Jennings, Saban returns both Jamey Mosely and Christopher Allen.
