2020 Alabama football defense needs new, game-changing ‘Edge’ impact

When fans discuss ‘game-changing’ players, most attention is given to offensive players or return men. What about game-changers on an Alabama football defense? The Crimson Tide did not have enough of them in the 2018 and 2019 seasons.

Three signing classes strong in ‘Edge’ players should mean returned strength at affecting opposing QBs. The impact of Crimson Tide edge players will begin in the coming season. Based on current players and 2021 verbal commits and targets, the Tide should have its ‘Edge’ back, at least through the 2022 season.
