Freddie Roach will inherit some strong personalities in his return to Alabama at defensive line coach, but the alpha in the room is Christian Barmore. He had a passion no one could match last season, as his desire was to make plays on the field.
It bothered him when he was not on the field; however, he ignited the crowd when Nick Saban rotated him into games in 2019.
A four-star from Philadelphia, Pa., he enters his third year in the program.
Even in limited action, Barmore was a force as a redshirt freshman. He made the Freshman All-SEC Team with 26 tackles – including six for loss and two sacks.
