1. Will Alabama’s offensive line improve?
For better or for worse, the Crimson Tide offensive line will look much different in 2026.
But will it be better?
Change doesn’t automatically mean improvement. But change is necessary after Alabama didn’t get what it always needed from the big men up front in 2025.
Now, all but one player is gone from the group of players who saw starting snaps in 2025. Michael Carroll is the lone returner. With a mix of transfer portal additions and younger players emerging to fill roles, the front five will be much different in 2026.
Plus, there’s a new offensive line coach in Adrian Klemm.
It’s no exaggeration to say the success of the season depends on this group’s improvement.
