Alabama’s defensive secondary will serve as a strength of the team next season.
With its returning players, one former Crimson Tide safety has the defense restored to dominant form in the fall — especially with the veterans on the back end. Justin Woodall, the founder of All In One Training Academy in Hoover, Ala., was recruited by Mike Shula to Alabama in 2006 but played for Nick Saban from 2007 to 2009. His best season was in 2009 as he was one of a few Shula recruits that helped Saban capture his first Southeastern Conference title and BCS National Championship at Alabama.
