Depth was a massive issue for Alabama last season due to a depleted roster after Nic kSaban's retirement, then the Tide was struck with an injury bug against Tennessee, losing five defensive backs) including Keon Sabb for the season) in the 24-17 loss to the Volunteers.

However, Wommack has seen significant progression from some of the Tide's younger stars on defense.

"Off the top of my head, DaShawn Jones was a little bit banged up in the springtime," Wommack said. "He's taken some great strides. Jordan Renaud just continues to grow and improve. Really, really pleased with him.

"And then some of those young defensive linemen are really taking steps in the right direction. Both Freddie Roach and Jamie Moseley, those guys have done a good job. Isaia Faga is doing a really good job. You're seeing some things, from London Simmons is improving. Steve [Bolo Mboumoua] is improving. So, it's nice to see some guys that maybe you thought might be a little ways away that might have a role for us at some point here during the season. That's encouraging."
