- DL: From : Double-digit schools are pushing hard, but five have taken that pursuit another step.

- Alabama beat East Carolina 48-10, but the review framed the opener as mixed because the offense still had pre-snap issues, formation problems, and clock-management cleanup. - Keelon Russell's escapability and throw-on-the-run ability stood out after he produced 249 passing yards and 86 rushing yards, showing why he won the starting quarterback job. - Ryan Coleman-Williams still had drop issues despite another 100-yard game with contested catches, leaving receiver consistency as a lingering concern. - Alabama's offensive line was not clean but has a plausible improvement path because the group has one returning starter playing a new position, two transfers, and a new position coach. - Alabama's defense had positive moments, including Yhonzae Pierre's pick-six and Terrance Green's sack, but also allowed a busted coverage for a 68-yard catch and later touchdown.

- Alabama selected wide receiver Ryan Coleman-Williams, cornerback Zabien Brown and safety Bray Hubbard as its three 2026 team captains. - Brown brings 30 consecutive starts and scored on two interception returns last season, making him the most established corner in the secondary. - Hubbard finished third on Alabama with 79 tackles in 2025 and added four interceptions and three forced fumbles, anchoring the defense from safety.
