Alabama Football Reveals Jersey Numbers for 43 New Players Ahead of Spring Practice Alabama will begin spring practice on Sunday, March 8, and two days prior, the Crimson Tide officially announced the jersey numbers for its 43 incoming players through the Yea Alabama platform. Among the 40-plus additions to the roster, only five players received single-digit numbers, including four transfers and freshman wide receiver Cederian Morgan, who was assigned No. 8. Most of the 19 early-enrolled freshmen have numbers above 30, though defensive linemen Mhari Johnson (No. 26) and JR Howard (No. 32) continue the tradition of lower-numbered jerseys. Johnson and Howard, who previously went by Corey Howard, also shortened their first names from their recruiting profiles. Other notable newcomers include running back EJ Crowell (No. 13) and quarterback Tayden-Evan Kaawa (No. 11). The transfers joining the program also secured single-digit numbers, with Devan Thompkins (No. 1), a defensive lineman from USC, becoming the first Crimson Tide defensive lineman to wear a single-digit jersey since Da’Shawn Hand (No. 9) in 2017. Thompkins, along with linebackers Caleb Woodson (No. 7) and Desmond Umeozulu (No. 9), will debut their numbers this spring. Additional transfers include Khalifa Keith (No. 20), a running back, and Carmelo O’Neal (No. 28), a defensive back, among others. For the freshmen, Cederian Morgan’s No. 8 is the only single-digit number assigned, while Jireh Edwards (No. 10) and Xavier Griffin (No. 11) also received lower numbers. Notably, two players—Tayden-Evan Kaawa (No. 11) and Jett Thomalla (No. 15)—share the same number, though the article does not clarify if this is a mistake or intentional. Other freshmen include defensive back Jordan Edmonds (No. 16), running back Trae’shawn Brown (No.#alabama_football #yea_alabama #cederian_morgan #mhari_johnson #jr_howard

The university officially announced these adjustments on Friday, providing a detailed list of revised numbers for existing players and new additions set to join the program. Among the notable changes, wide receiver Ryan Williams has transitioned to the number 1 jersey, now listed as Ryan Coleman-Williams, a name honoring his mother, Tiffany Coleman. Other players have also seen their numbers revised, including offensive tackle Jackson Lloyd (No. 77), linebacker Cayden Jones (No. 23), and tight end Marshall Pritchett (No. 9). Several players have moved to lower numbers, such as running back Kevin Riley (No. 6) and safety Red Morgan (No. 6), while others like edge rusher Yhonzae Pierre have adopted new numbers, including Pierre’s shift to No. 0. The list also includes new players joining the program through the transfer portal, such as defensive lineman Terrance Green (No. 99) and kicker Lorcan Quinn (No. 90). Additional recruits like tight end Jaxon Shuttlesworth (No. 80) and offensive lineman Kaden Strayhorn (No. 79) are now part of the 2025 roster. The updates reflect the evolving composition of the team, with spring practice set to begin on Sunday, marking the start of preparations for the upcoming season. These changes highlight the dynamic nature of college football recruiting and the impact of the transfer portal on team rosters. As the Crimson Tide continues to shape its roster, the adjustments in player numbers serve as a tangible reflection of the program’s ongoing development and strategic direction.#kalen_deboer #tiffany_colman #jackson_lloyd #cayden_jones #marshall_pritchett

Badshah apologises for ‘Tateeree’ row, says “The song is being taken down from all platforms” Rapper Badshah has issued a public apology after facing backlash over the lyrics of his recently released track ‘Tateeree’. The controversy emerged after several women’s organisations objected to portions of the song, alleging that the lyrics were offensive and disrespectful to women. On March 7, the rapper took to Instagram to share an apology video addressing the concerns. In the caption accompanying the video, he also stated that the track was being removed from digital platforms. He wrote, “The song is being taken off from everywhere. ”In the video, Badshah clarified his intentions behind the lyrics and expressed regret for the offence caused. He said, “My new song ‘Tateeree’ has been released, and I’ve noticed that a part of my lyrics and its visual representation have conveyed a message that has hurt the sentiments of many people, especially people from Haryana. First of all, I want to say that I myself am from Haryana. Those who know me are aware that my language, my food, my lifestyle, and my identity come from Haryana. I am a proud Haryanvi. I never had any intention or purpose of saying anything inappropriate about any child or woman from Haryana. ”Explaining the context of the lyrics, the rapper added that the lines were written in line with the competitive nature of hip-hop music.

Alabama's Ryan Williams Makes Jersey Changes Ahead of Potential Bounce-Back Season Alabama wide receiver Ryan Williams is set to enter the 2026 college football season with a new jersey number and a revised name, signaling a fresh start as he prepares for his junior season. The rising junior, who previously wore number 2, will switch to number 1—a tribute to his high school days at Saraland High in Alabama. His name will also change to Ryan Coleman-Williams, incorporating his mother’s last name, Tiffany Coleman, as part of a personal branding effort. The update was hinted at during the 2025 season when Williams wore the names “Coleman” and “Williams” across his eye black during Alabama’s victory over Tennessee in October. He explained the decision afterward, stating, “It’s both of my last names. I just wanted to represent. That’s pretty much it.” The jersey change carries sentimental weight for Williams, as he starred in high school with number 1, emerging as a five-star recruit and one of the most sought-after prospects in the 2024 class. However, his college career has been marked by uneven performance. As a freshman in 2024, Williams made an immediate impact, recording 48 receptions for 865 yards and eight touchdowns, including a standout 177-yard performance against then-No. 2 Georgia. That season established him as a breakout star in college football. Yet, his sophomore year in 2025 saw a decline in consistency. Despite finishing second on the team with 49 receptions and 689 yards, Williams struggled with a 16.9% drop rate, one of the highest among FBS receivers. The explosive plays that defined his freshman campaign became less frequent, raising questions about his ability to maintain his high-level production.#ryan_williams #tiffany_coleman #saraland_high #alabama #derrick_nix

Lisci: "Este partido puede marcar un antes y un después en la temporada" El entrenador de Osasuna, Alessio Lisci, destacó la relevancia del partido contra el Mallorca, especialmente tras la derrota en Mestalla. "Estamos con muchas ganas. El partido, más que importante, es importantísimo. La palabra puede que sea trascendental, y me gustaría que ese fuera el titular porque, en caso de ganar mañana, estaríamos virtualmente salvados. Serían doce puntos por encima del descenso y el golaverage a principios de marzo", explicó. Además, subrayó que "no debe darse por hecho, es muy importante. Este partido puede marcar un antes y un después en la temporada. Quiero pedirle a la afición que haya el mismo ambiente que frente al Real Madrid, que sé que no es fácil, pero tenemos que estar todos con la misma mentalidad de sacarlo como sea y estar enchufados". A pesar de la importancia del duelo, Lisci rechazó llamarlo "final", ya que "las finales o las pierdes o las ganas y existe la opción del empate", aunque consideró que "es lo que más se acerca a una final". El técnico también mencionó la vuelta de Aimar Oroz, indicando que "no fuimos capaces de solventar su baja, como pasó ante el Villarreal. Esperamos que esté siempre y es importante recuperarlo, él es importantísimo". Además, añadió que "es uno más y, ya solo por matemática, tenemos más banquillo a nuestra disposición". Lisci no quiso enfatizar la estadística de seis partidos seguidos sin perder en casa, ya que "las estadísticas positivas, tarde o temprano, se rompen". Sin embargo, reconoció que "nosotros tenemos que dar nuestra mejor versión porque los rivales vienen con otra mentalidad a El Sadar, saben que es un partido difícil".#real_madrid #osasuna #mallorca #martin_demichelis #alessio_lisci

Arteta on Max Dowman's progress after injury: 'A lot to learn from this experience' Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta has highlighted the resilience and commitment of young midfielder Max Dowman as the player continues his recovery from a prolonged ankle injury. Dowman, who has been sidelined since December, has made steady progress during his rehabilitation, and Arteta praised his dedication to the process. The coach emphasized the importance of maintaining discipline and understanding the medical protocols involved in returning to full fitness. Arteta noted that the experience of missing out on regular gameplay has been a significant lesson for Dowman. "You miss playing, that's the first thing," he said. "Don’t take it for granted because it can be taken away from you when you don’t expect it, and for a long time as well." The coach explained that Dowman has adapted to his rehabilitation routines, working closely with the team’s physiotherapists, doctors, and scan specialists. This collaboration has helped him regain confidence and rebuild his physical condition. Dowman’s return to training has been a positive development, with Arteta expressing optimism about his readiness to contribute to the first team. The midfielder made his comeback in a 45-minute appearance for the Under-21 squad during a match against Ipswich Town on February 27. Arteta acknowledged the importance of giving Dowman opportunities to showcase his progress, stating, "He’s been looking really good in training and hopefully we can give him chances to play." The 18-year-old’s injury absence has also provided valuable insight into the challenges of maintaining form while recovering from a significant setback. Dowman’s journey reflects the broader struggles faced by young players navigating the demands of professional football.#arsenal #fa_cup #mikel_arteta #max_dowman #under_21
