Despite the transition from Nick Saban to Kalen DeBoer, Alabama was able to hold onto four-star defensive lineman Jeremiah Beaman in the 2024 recruiting class. Now, Beaman appears to be ready to show Crimson Tide fans why that was so important.
Beaman redshirted his freshman season and played just 30 snaps across three games last season after arriving in Tuscaloosa as a bit of a tweener on the defensive line. At 6-foot-3, 259 pounds, he was built like an edge rusher, but played primarily on the interior. Now, after a remarkable transformation, he has the body to match his game and could be ready to play a major role for defensive coordinator Kane Wommack.
