Much like last preseason, Alabama’s defensive line enters the spring with all kinds of high blue-chip talent but in need of someone to step forward and become that singular dominating force that opposing teams have to scheme around. While a few players flashed in 2022, that person never really emerged. Some of the same candidates are still around along with a couple of new faces. To be frank, this is a position group that is longer on quantity than quality in terms of on field results, so expect some attrition here over the summer.
