Back to the Alabama Crimson Tide Newsfeed

Brian Branch & DeMarcco Hellams are the ‘hardest hitters’ for Alabama, according to Jordan Battle

Alabama graduates Jalyn Armour-Davis, Josh Jobe, and Daniel Wright to the NFL Draft, but it returns a host of experienced players in the defensive secondary.

Nick Saban hired Travaris Robinson to replace Jay Valai as cornerbacks coach, and the secondary should be a strength in the fall.

Jordan Battle could have pursued the NFL, but he decided to return to school to finish his degree and compete for a national championship. He is the leading voice in the defensive backfield, but the Crimson Tide has some hitters prepared to bring pain to receivers, running backs, and tight ends.
