Alabama Football: Projected post-spring 2019 depth chart

With spring practice wrapped up, let’s take a look at what Alabama Football’s 2019 depth chart might look like when they open the season.

Spring football has wrapped up in Tuscaloosa as Alabama Football now begins the long trek of the college football offseason with the dog days of summer soon setting in. It was a fruitful spring for the Crimson Tide as some needed depth at positions of need emerged.

Spring concluded with the annual A-Day game as the White team topped the Crimson team 31-17 to earn a steak dinner. It was a bit of a surprise as the white team boasted the No. 1 defense against the Crimson’s No. 1 offense. All signs indicated the offense was well ahead of the defense in spring practice, but the script flipped during A-Day.

Concerns over Tua Tagovailoa’s mediocre performance, however, were completely overblown. It’s important to remember that spring games bring vanilla-offensive play-calling against a defense that knows all of your tendencies and practices against you on a daily basis. I think the main takeaway should be that the Tide’s defense really rose to the occasion, instead of any concerns over the offense.

Rarely does the offense look fluid in a spring game, and that was no different even with a record-setting quarterback and a slew of talented skill players at his disposal.

There were plenty of known commodities entering spring who were in no danger of losing their starting positions, but several players who weren’t on the radar entering spring have emerged into the spotlight, fighting for starting positions or rotational spots in their respective position groups.

There’s still plenty of talent yet to arrive in Tuscaloosa, with the remainder of 2019’s top-rated recruiting class arriving in the summer, most notably five-star running back Trey Sanders, who will be looking to carve out a role as a true freshman.

Let’s take a look at projecting what Alabama’s depth chart might look like when they take the field in Atlanta to open the season against Duke on August 31.
