The Alabama football schedule begins with the Crimson Tide opening the 2024 college football season with a home game against Western Kentucky on August 31. Head coach Kalen DeBoer heads into a pressure-packed first season in Tuscaloosa as he tries to fill the shoes of living legend Nick Saban. DeBoer has excelled at his previous stops, leading Washington to a national championship game appearance last season. He has been using an important Alabama football fall camp to drill down the Alabama football depth chart.
Quarterback Jalen Milroe headlines the returning players on offense, while safety Malachi Moore anchors the defense.

Top Alabama Crimson Tide practice storylines
Alabama lost leading rushers Jase McClellan to the NFL and Roydell Williams to the transfer portal, but they still have a dynamic duo taking over atop the depth chart this season. Justice Haynes and Jam Miller have established themselves as the clear top options throughout spring practice and fall camp, but the coaching staff is not naming one of them as the starter at this point. Instead, the Bama247 team says to "think of them as 1A/1B, which is a welcome development to the coaching staff."
Miller primarily played special teams over the past few seasons, but he had 41 carries for 201 yards and a touchdown last season. Haynes played sparingly during his freshman season, finishing with 168 yards and two touchdowns. Redshirt freshman Richard Young and true freshman Daniel Hill are fighting for the third spot on the depth chart, which is a battle that Bama247 is keeping an eye on.Get more updates on the Alabama running back competition at Bama247.
Another one of the Alabama football headlines surrounds the Crimson Tide's linebackers. Alabama has several stars returning at inside linebacker in Deontae Lawson and Jihaad Campbell, who both started the majority of the team's games last season. Senior Justin Jefferson had just four tackles last season, but he has reportedly emerged as a strong third option on the depth chart behind Lawson and Campbell.
The outside Wolf linebacker spot is where the real battle is being fought, and it could linger into the start of the season. Senior Quandarrius Robinson and junior Keanu Koht are the frontrunners for the starting job, but freshmen Qua Russaw and Yhonzae Pierre are viable options as well. DeBoer has a wealth of talent to sort through at outside linebacker, and more news could emerge regarding the projected starter in the coming weeks.Find out more about Alabama's linebackers at Bama247.
