Alabama lost two members of its starting secondary, Eddie Jackson and Marlon Humphrey. Though, with Jackson’s midseason injury, the team had seven full games with his replacement. Minkah Fitzpatrick moved to safety, and Tony Brown saw his role increase, replacing Fitzpatrick at star (the nickel CB). Both return, leaving Bama to really only have to replace Humphrey.
Fitzpatrick spent the first week or so of spring practice at cornerback but has since moved back to safety, and that seems to be his likely landing spot. Tony Brown thrived at star last season, and he looks primed to play either there or outside.
