2020 Alabama Spring Football Roster

Crimson Tide set to be joined by 13 early enrollees when spring practices open

Alabama Athletics

The University of Alabama football program will hold its first spring practice on Friday afternoon, right around the time the rest of the school goes on spring break. 

It'll be the first of 15 on-field workouts, including the A-Day Game at Bryant-Denny Stadium on April 18. 

Some items of note:

• The roster does not include cornerback Scooby Carter, who recently entered his name in the NCAA transfer portal for a second time. He is still listed on Alabama's online roster, but is not expected to return. 

• Recent transfers include running back Jerome Ford (Cincinnati) and offensive lineman Scott Lashley (Mississippi State). Defensive back Nigel Knott has announced his intention to transfer. 

• Alabama has 13 early enrollees. Their jerseys numbers will be added when available. 

• David Ballou has the title of Director of Sports Performance, with Dr. Matt Rhea the Director of Sports Science. No one is listed as the football strength and conditioning coach. However, the staff as of now is: 

Terry Jones, Assistant Head Strength and Conditioning Coach 

Josh Hampton, Assistant Director, Sports Performance 

Josh Chapman, Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach 

Tyler Owens, Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach  

Aaron Brosz, Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach

UPDATE: Alabama updated its online roster Monday evening and added jersey numbers for the early enrollees. Other changes include: 

• Interior linebacker Markail Benton was not listed. 

• Wide receiver Tyrell Shavers has changed his jersey number from 14 to 1. 

• Running back Keilan Robinson has added a little weight and is listed at 190 pounds. 

• Wide receiver Xavier Williams changed his jersey number from 9 to 3. 

• Running back Brian Robinson Jr. switched his number from 24 to 4.

• Defensive back Jalyn Armour-Davis went from 22 to 5.

• Defensive back Brandon Turnage split his number in half, going from 14 to 7. 

• Linebacker Ale Kaho is back in No. 10 after wearing No. 20 at the end of last season.

• Defensive back Eddie Smith went from 25 to 15. 

• Offensive lineman Kendall Randolph was only listed as No. 60, and Chris Owens was similarly No. 79, which might mean no more double-duty at tight end for them (at least during the spring).
