Pete Golding has had his share of praise and criticism from Alabama fans during his first four seasons at the University of Alabama.

He enters his fifth season for the Crimson Tide and fourth at defensive coordinator. Golding dealt with unfortunate situations, mostly injuries, keeping his defense from being marquee in 2019, 2020, and 2021. People have not judged him correctly, but Golding will be under a microscope from supporters this season. Golding has experienced defensive linemen, linebackers, and defensive backs. The Tide also has playmakers who are prepared to make an impact.

Henry To’oto’o, a senior, will start at middle “Mike” linebacker, but who will be his partner on the inside?
