Mark my words, this Alabama player will be up for Chuck Bednarik Award this season

Alabama football will have an explosive offense, but Crimson Tide fans want its defense to dominate too.

Kalen DeBoer inherits several defensive veterans from the Nick Saban era, including Malachi Moore, Deontae Lawson, Tim Kennan III, Jehiem Oatis, Tim Smith, Jihaad Campbell, Quandarrius Robinson, and Jah-Marien Latham among others.

The Tide was at his best under Saban when the offense and defense complemented each other.

Alabama’s defense will face challenging opponents in Kane Wommack’s first year as coordinator; however, the Tide has a player that will be up for the Chuck Bednarik Award for college football’s defensive player of the year.
