We're taking a look at each position group as Alabama prepares to open spring practice. The ninth part of the series looks at special teams.
Projected spring depth chart:
Kicker: Redshirt freshman Joseph Bulovas
Punter: Freshman Skyler DeLong
Kick returners: Junior running back Josh Jacobs, senior wide receiver Xavian Marks
Punt returner: Junior cornerback Trevon Diggs
Departed: Kicker Andy Pappanastos, punter JK Scott
New arrivals: DeLong
Due to arrive in the fall: Graduate transfer kicker Austin Jones.
Outlook:
For the first time since 2013, someone other than JK Scott will be handling Alabama's punting.
