Luke Metz

Luke Metz reflected on his first collegiate start after helping Alabama’s defense hold East Carolina to just two rushing yards in a dominant 48-10 win.

On Wednesday, Alabama defensive coordinator Kane Wommack named sophomore Luke Metz a starter at inside linebacker beside Caleb Woodson.

Following Alabama’s first fall scrimmage, Kalen DeBoer discussed the rebuilt inside linebacker room and highlighted Luke Metz’s sideline-to-sideline ability and continued development.

Alabama defensive coordinator Kane Wommack is "excited" about the new level of aggressiveness in the LB room, with Luke Metz playing at a high level.

The Crimson Tide have been leaning heavily on their youthful core- particularly a handful of freshman linebackers who have made strong impressions.
