As we approach the two-week mark until Alabama kicks off its highly anticipated season under new head coach Kalen DeBoer, hundreds of college football players have recently been recognized on various preseason watch lists for annual awards, including 14 Crimson Tide standouts.
On Thursday, several analysts at ESPN narrowed these notable athletes down even further by ranking the 100-best college football players before the season begins. Alabama landed five players on the prestigious list:
99. Defensive Back Malachi Moore68. Center Parker Brailsford60. Linebacker Deontae Lawson31. Offensive Guard Tyler Booker22. Quarterback Jalen Milroe
Shortly after legendary Alabama head coach Nick Saban retired on Jan. 10, many Crimson Tide players and incoming freshmen decommitted and transferred. Two of those players made the top-100 as Texas wide receiver Isaiah Bond landed at No. 86 while Ohio State safety Caleb Downs rose all the way up to No. 11.
The rankings concluded with each analyst’s pick for a newcomer who could be on this top-100 ranking by the end of the season. Crimson Tide wide receiver Ryan Williams, who was the first-ever back-to-back “Mr. Football” in the state of Alabama, was one of a small handful of freshmen listed in this category. Former Central High School (Phenix City, Ala.) standout and current freshman Auburn wide receiver Cam Coleman was named in this group as well.
