Grant calcaterra replacing Mark Andrews. This kid is an absolute stud.

Najee Harris replacing Bo Scarbrough

So you’re telling me Alabama has another no bad ass running back to replace an NFL talent? I don’t believe it!

I think our Oline might be just as good, next year. Plus the last 3 recruiting classes have killed it on the Oline.

Evans will move to LT to replace Orlando, but I wouldnt be surprised to see Brey Walker start as a true freshman at RT. That kid is a monster.

I don’t think he will. I think Adrian Ealy wins that spot. I hate starting true freshmen on the line. Especially at tackle.

I was the same way till Bama got Cam Robinson. Dude was a stud from day 1.

Those guys don’t come along too often. Brown did great as a tee fragments LT but still had his share of freshman moments.

This is true, more often than not experience (not to mention some size) is where it's at in an OT. Hard combo for a true freshman to have that early.

The 2 and 3 deep next year will be sick. Moore, I think see a lot of action and Walker will get into the rotation but most like 3rd string.

The article mentions Jeudy replacing Ridley, but Smith is also a true freshman WR and is the one who caught the NCG winning TD.

So we kinda have 2 replacing Ridley.

Higgins replacing Cain is the big one, but I'm also excited to see Amari Rodgers replace Ray-Ray McCloud. McCloud was never the primary weapon but he provided some pop. Rodgers is more of a natural WR as McCloud was a RB in HS so hopefully he'll provide more of a threat in the passing game.

Najee Harris replacing Bo Scarbrough


He looked very good in the Natty. He was brought in at just the right time and faced a worn down Georgia defense. Still, he looked very intimidating. A dark horse for the Heisman.

Thanks for sharing this. Best of luck to the athletes replacing the draft entrants. Let's see how well they do in their new role.

D'Andre Swift and James Cook/Zamir White/Elijah Holyfield replacing Nick Chubb and Sony Michel
Isaiah Wilson replacing Isaiah Wynn

We'll be getting talent upgrades at safety, but Aaron Davis won't go pro and Dominick Sanders will be a 6th-7th round pick at best.

We have a lot of talent at linebacker, but not so sure any of them are on Lorenzo Carter's level, and I'd be absolutely shocked if any are close to Roquan Smith's level.

For USC...Michael Pittman Jr. replacing Deontay Burnett.

Burnett was good and should be a solid possession type receiver in the NFL.

But, by the end of the season, I thought Pittman was our best receiver.
