One of the position battles that is sure to create the most intrigue during the spring is the HUSKY position. In Kane Wommack’s SWARM defense, HUSKY is a role used similarly as the Star position or nickel corner in most defenses. The terminology is just a bit different in Alabama’s defense.
Needless to say, the HUSKY position is critical to the defense’s success and will certainly be during the 2025 season.
Alabama’s starting HUSKY from the 2024 season was DeVonta Smith. He transferred to Notre Dame this offseason.
Several players that will likely compete for the starting spot in 2025 are Zavier Mincey, DaShawn Jones, Cameron Calhoun, and Red Morgan.
