Coaching and experience returning will make Alabama’s secondary a huge strength in the upcoming season.
Regardless of being underrated, senior Shyheim Carter is one of the leaders on defense and is someone that is prepared to generate attention from NFL scouts. After having a Minkah Fitzpatrick-like season in 2018, the defensive back from Louisiana anticipates building off his success and growing a first-round draft stock.
Carter, a former four-star, collected 44 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, 10 pass breakups, three quarterback pressures and two interceptions (both returned for touchdowns) through 15 games. His production elevated throughout the year, especially in the Southeastern Conference title game versus Georgia.
