Alabama had two transfers, former Washington center Parker Brailsford and former Miami (Ohio) kicker Graham Nicholson named to the first-team. Returning guard Tyler Booker was named to the second team.

Nicholson won the Lou Groza Award for the nation's best kicker in 2023, connecting on 26 of his 27 field goal attempts and 35 of 26 extra-point tries for the Redhawks last season. Brailsford was part of a Washington offensive line that won the Joe Moore Award, and projects to be the Tide's starter at center this season. He was a finalist for the Shaun Alexander Freshman of the Year Award last season.

Booker was named the second-team guard after spending 2023 as the lone starter for Alabama at left guard. Last season, it felt like Booker and Latham were the only two players not dealing with a position battle during the season on offense.
