Nick Saban has had success cross-training linebackers as head coach of Alabama football.
We have seen recruits come in as inside linebackers and move outside, and vice versa. Demouy Kennedy, a former four-star in the 2020 signing class, has played two positions in two seasons with the Crimson Tide. A native of Theodore, Ala., Kennedy got recruited as an inside linebacker, but his action has come on special teams and as an emergency running back.
The 6-foot-3, 220-pounder has 19 games of experience under his belt.
In Monday’s practice, Kennedy practiced with outside linebackers under Coleman Hutzler.
