Alabama's roster is undergoing significant changes as the team enters its third season under head coach Kalen DeBoer, with updates to player numbers and the addition of new recruits through the transfer portal. 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
