TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — It’s a crazy time in college football, with the NCAA poised to vote on whether to allow athletes back on campus and use college facilities again in June, while no one is sure what will happen with the fall season.

There’s also usual the coming-and-going of the offseason, with some transfers, in addition to the freshmen who didn’t enroll early preparing to arrive.

Consequently, the roster remains fluid.

By our count, Alabama had 81 players on the roster heading into the spring. There have been some departures since then, and obviously the coaching staff is expecting a couple more.

Some attrition is always expected, and has been the norm every year under Nick Saban.

Here’s a look at each position group, with each player’s signing class, number of stars — 1-5, 5 being the best — and overall ranking by 247Sports composite. Note that Saban doesn’t disclose scholarship information, so the tally may be off. The NCAA limit is 85. 

e – early enrollee
i – incoming player
* recruited at another position.
c - granted extra year of eligibility
