A tumultuous offseason officially ended Monday. It’s a changing era for Alabama football, bringing new names, schemes, and number changes to Tuscaloosa.

The first spring practice is scheduled for this afternoon. More than 25 Crimson Tide roster members will dawn new digits. Of the current players switching, starting weakside linebacker Deontae Lawson will wear No. 0. He is the first UA player to do so since the NCAA approved the number in 2020.

Washington transfer and expected starting center Parker Brailsford keeps the same number (72) he wore with the Huskies. Former UW receiver Germie Bernard will wear No. 5. Michigan transfer Keon Sabb will wear No. 3, previously issued to Terrion Arnold. Southern California transfer Domani Jackson cornerback will wear Kool-Aid McKinstry’s No. 1.

Defensive lineman Jeheim Oatis — who opted to go by ‘Jeheim’ instead of ‘Jaheim’ — traded No. 91 for No. 10 and linebacker Jihaad Campbell will dawn No. 11 instead of No. 30. Returning defensive lineman Jah-Marian Latham will wear No. 20 (was No. 93). Also, freshman and Nick Saban’s lone legacy Alabama recruit Dre Kirkpatrick Jr. will wear No. 21, the same as his father wrote 12 years ago.

• Safety Peyton Woodyard – No. 7
