- 3 bold predictions for Alabama football during 2026 fall camp
The start of 2026 fall camp has officially arrived for the Alabama Crimson Tide .
A multi-week stretch leading up to the Week 1 game against East Carolina , Alabama is set to answer a number of big questions during fall camp this August. Those questions include who the starters will be at certain positions such as quarterback, inside linebacker, right tackle, and more.

When looking at some of those same spots as well, there are players likely to be focal points of Alabama's fall camp, with Austin Mack and Keelon Russell two of the biggest in the spotlight. Attention will also be on others such as star wideout Ryan Coleman-Williams, as well as highly touted true freshman running back EJ Crowell.
Will the spotlight be on any other Alabama players though this fall, and if so, who? Let's take a look at three Crimson Tide players in particular, while also making a bold prediction for what they could potentially do during fall camp.
Cederian Morgan emerges as star of fall camp

Alabama enters the 2026 season with one of their top wide receivers in Noah Rogers dealing with an injury , meaning that someone will likely need to step up early in the season alongside Coleman-Williams and Lotzeir Brooks . A name to watch during fall camp that could potentially emerge is Cederian Morgan, a talented playmaker who could be next in line to make an impact at wide receiver as a true freshman.

Jireh Edwards is talk of defensive back room
The Crimson Tide enter the season with one of the top secondaries in college football, but what if the talk about the unit in fall camp is not about any of the five starters, but rather a true freshman? Jireh Edwards came to Tuscaloosa this past offseason as one of the top safeties in the 2026 class, and the talented defensive back is likely to see the field sooner rather than later for Alabama.
Ethan Fields challenges for starting spot

Alabama enters fall camp with Michael Carroll cemented as the Tide's starting right guard, while William Sanders is the favorite to do the same on the left side of the line. Ethan Fields is another name who will likely be talked about often during fall camp though, as the Ole Miss transfer could very easily end up challenging for a starting spot over the next couple of weeks, emerging as one of the Crimson Tide's top depth options at the least.
