Kane Wommack highlights Bandit Depth Behind LT Overton

Alabama rotates players heavily on the defensive side of the ball, which requires the Crimson Tide to have strong depth behind its starters. On Saturday, Alabama defensive coordinator was asked about the depth behind returning veteran LT Overton, who totaled 42 tackles and two sacks in 2024.

"Yeah, you know, I'm excited about some of the guys that are working in that position right now," Wommack said. "You know, obviously, Keon Keeley and Jordan Renaud are getting a good bit of the reps there. Both of them it's fun to watch their evolution and their growth over the last 18 months. I think both of them have taken huge strides and big steps towards being able to contribute for us. And so, really excited about what those guys can do.

“And then you've got, you know, some other guys that just got here in Kevonte Henry, that wasn't able to go through spring ball. And so, you know, looking forward to kind of seeing what he can do as well.

"And then what's nice is that you have older guys. The Bandit and the Wolf position, they’re different in some ways, but there is enough similarity that there's some crossover work. And so we start to kind of do some of those things as well, just so that we can create enough depth—be it a certain personnel package, or just making sure that we have the depth to carry through a long season.”
