Alabama updates football roster with new jersey numbers for summer arrivals

The new college football season is just around the corner, and Alabama has updated its online roster to include jersey numbers as well as heights and weights for its summer additions. There were also a few Crimson Tide players who swapped their numbers from last year.

Alabama added seven freshmen to its roster over the summer, headlined by five-star wide receiver Ryan Williams, who will wear the No. 2. The Tide also welcomed in receivers Rico Scott (No. 11) and Amari Jefferson (No. 17) as well as linebackers Noah Carter (No. 24) and Q.B. Reese (No. 36) in addition to running back Kevin Riley (No. 28) and tight end Jay Lindsey (No. 88).

According to reports, four-star defensive lineman signee Steve Mboumoua is set to enroll at Southwest Community College in Summit, Mississippi next season before joining Alabama in January.
