— Two of the three Alabama players suspended from the College Football Playoff weren’t present at practice. Backup tight end Kedrick James and backup offensive lineman Elliot Baker were both missing after violating team rules in December. Starting left guard Deonte Brown was also suspended but was seen working with the offensive linemen.
— Inside linebacker Ale Kaho was another notable absence. The sophomore is expected to compete for the starting role alongside Dylan Moses. Ben Davis was also missing from the unit after undergoing offseason surgery.
— Moses led the inside linebackers and was followed by Joshua McMillon, Shane Lee, Jaylen Moody, Trae Drake (walk-on), Joe Donald (walk-on) and Markail Benton.
— Shane Lee is the latest freakish freshman to arrive at Alabama. He has a really thick build and tree trunks for legs.
