Alabama Football: Shoring up the defensive line for improvement

For the last few seasons, Alabama football fans have been concerned about the Tide’s lack of dominance from its defensive lines. That remains a concern for the 2023 season. If the Crimson Tide is less explosive on offense in 2023, as many expect, the defense must carry a heavier load.

Is the 2023 Alabama football defensive line up to the task? If it is, it will do so without Jamil Burroughs. After an off-field altercation when Burroughs purportedly struck a coach, the redshirt junior entered the Transfer Portal.

Burroughs was a 4-Star when he was recruited out of Georgia in the 2020 signing class.
