Alabama Announces Crimson and White Rosters for 2023 A-Day Game
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — The rosters for the 2023 A-Day Game of both the Crimson Team and the White Team were announced on Friday afternoon as Alabama football finalizes preparations for its annual spring scrimmage game.
Quarterback Jalen Milroe leads the White Team while Ty Simpson is on the Crimson Team. However, the remaining offensive players have been split between the two teams — including projected starters.
The same can be said on defense, with players being split between the two teams regardless of status. Alabama head coach Nick Saban outlined his reasoning behind the team assignments on Thursday evening.
"We split up the squads in A-Day so we get maximum reps for most of the players, which does not really mean the entire first team is on one team and the entire first team is on the other team," Saban said. "It means if we have certain guys at certain positions, we can manipulate them around to get reps for those guys by playing more of the game because we split the squads up that way, then that’s the way we do it. We have where we try to play the first teams against the first teams and the second teams so it’s a competitive game.
"We had a draft yesterday for all the staff. Coaching staff, support staff, recruiting staff, training staff. Everybody got picked."
Eight players were missing from the rosters, with most players being out with assumed injuries. Those players are as follows: WR Cole Adams, OLB Chris Braswell, DL Jah-Marien Latham, ILB Deontae Lawson, TE Robby Ouzts, S DeVonta Smith and OLB Dallas Turner.
The eighth player absent it DB Tony Mitchell, who is currently suspended.
Here is the flipcard with both teams' rosters for the 2023 A-Day Game, followed by a fill list of players on each team.
