The Crimson Tide lost some of its best defensive linemen from the 2015 squad to the NFL, but help could be on the way.

The 6-foot-1, 320-pound Tu’ikolovatu could help fill the void. Last with the Utes, the lineman registered 28 tackles including six tackles for loss, two of them sacks, as well as a touchdown on a fumble recovery.
Prior to spring practice, Saturday Down South projected Daron Payne and Joshua Frazier leading the defensive tackle depth chart.
If Tu’ikolovatu chooses to go elsewhere, the Crimson Tide could get help freshman defensive tackles Raekwon Davis, Kendell Jones and Quinnen Williams, all former four-star prospects.
