Alabama football’s defense under defensive coordinator Kane Wommack is known as the 4-2-5 Swarm Defense.

It is a defensive system originated by Kane’s father Dave Wommack. Dave served as a collegiate defensive coordinator at several schools before retiring in 2016. Some of the more notable programs he has worked for as the defensive coordinator are Arkansas, Georgia Tech and Ole Miss. He was the Rebels’ defensive coordinator when they defeated Alabama in back-to-back years in 2014 and 2015.

Kane now leans on the wisdom of his father to help him prepare the Crimson Tide defense with Dave now retired and living in Oxford, Mississippi.
