Alabama releases first 2025 depth chart ahead of Florida State game
Published:
Alabama officially has a depth chart.
The Crimson Tide released their first depth chart of the season on Saturday morning, just hours before the team gets going against Florida State in Week 1.
Here’s a full look of the depth chart via Nick Kelly:
As Kelly notes, there are no major surprises on the depth chart. Ty Simpson won an offseason quarterback battle over Austin Mack and Keelon Russell. Kalen DeBoer and Ryan Grubb have yet to name a backup quarterback, which is perhaps why there’s an ‘or’ designation between Mack and Russell.
The depth chart also doesn’t tip Alabama’s hand as to who will get major reps while Jam Miller is sidelined with an injury. Richard Young, Daniel Hill and Dre Washington are all listed as co-starters on this depth chart.

Defensively, Alabama does list Tim Keenan as the starter at nose tackle despite Keenan being questionable for this game. If Keenan can’t go do to injury, it seems Jeremiah Bearman would be his replacement. Notably, Deontae Lawson is listed as a starter at linebacker as he looks to play for the first time since suffering a season-ending injury against Oklahoma last fall.
Alabama and Florida State will kick off at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday afternoon.
