After spending the first month working on the quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, tight ends, and offensive line, I’m now moving on to the defensive side of the ball. The Tide defense has really taken some attrition in the depth department over the past couple of years, so Nick Saban really focused on that side with this recruiting class (which is funny to say, considering the Tide signed two of the top 10 players in the nation on the offensive side of the ball).
With five defensive backs, four linebackers, and six defensive linemen, the Tide could field an entire starting defense from one class and still be able to substitute every defensive lineman.
