Will Alabama\u2019s offensive line improve?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1bij9g78 _1mt21p01\">For better or for worse, the Crimson Tide offensive line will look much different in 2026.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1bij9g78 _1mt21p01\">But will it be better?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1bij9g78 _1mt21p01\">Change doesn\u2019t automatically mean improvement. But change is necessary after Alabama didn\u2019t get what it always needed from the big men up front in 2025.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1bij9g78 _1mt21p01\">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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1bij9g78 _1mt21p01\">Plus, there\u2019s a new offensive line coach in Adrian Klemm.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1bij9g78 _1mt21p01\">It\u2019s no exaggeration to say the success of the season depends on this group\u2019s improvement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"1.
