Alabama football 2025 season preview, predictions: Jeremiah Beaman
When searching for potential breakout candidates on the Alabama Crimson Tide's defense, Jeremiah Beaman could quickly come to mind as a possible name to know. Entering year two at Alabama, Beaman is a former top in-state prospect for the Crimson Tide who did not see much action last season, appearing in only a few games. Looking ahead to this season however, Beaman is a popular name around Tuscaloosa who could potentially be set for a breakout campaign along Alabama's defensive line, with a big reason as to why being likely increased playing time in 2025. A potential candidate to breakout, here is everything you need to know about Alabama defensive lineman Jeremiah Beaman entering the 2025 season. Jeremiah Beaman player information Jeremiah Beaman career stats Entering year two at Alabama, Beaman has so far appeared in only three games at the collegiate level. Over those three games, Beaman made two tackles. Jeremiah Beaman 2024 stats As mentioned previously, Beaman appeared in only three games a year ago as a true freshman. Beaman compiled two tackles, both of which came against Michigan. Jeremiah Beaman recruiting ranking Per the 247Sports Composite rankings, Beaman was considered as the nation's No. 81 overall player in the 2024 class, as well as the No. 13 ranked defensive lineman nationally. A four-star prospect, Beaman committed to the Crimson Tide back in May 2023, and was considered the No. 8 player in the state of Alabama where he attended Parker High School: Jeremiah Beaman 2025 roster outlook It feels likely that Beaman is set to see an increase in playing time from a year ago, but as to just how much, that likely remains a question. Entering his redshirt freshman season, Beaman is likely not projected as a starter at defensive tackle due to both Tim Keenan III and James Smith returning, but is however expected to be among the top backup options. Beaman projects as a rotation option at defensive tackle, and an argument could be made that the former in-state product enters the season as Alabama's top backup at the position. Overall, expect a breakout season for Beaman this fall in which he makes a significant impact for the Crimson Tide defense.

Everything Ryan Grubb said about Alabama's quarterbacks after second practice
On Thursday afternoon, new Alabama Crimson Tide offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb spoke to the media for what was the first time since fall camp began. As part of this, Grubb was asked multiple times about the Crimson Tide's ongoing quarterback competition, one in which Ty Simpson, Austin Mack, and Keelon Russell are vying to start for Alabama in their Week 1 matchup against Florida State. Grubb also gave his comments on the trio Thursday, listing differences between the group, when he'd like to name the starter, and more. Here is everything Grubb said Thursday during his media availability about Alabama's quarterbacks in particular. Ryan Grubb on differences between Alabama's quarterbacks "All these guys, I think they're in different levels of their progression as quarterbacks in college, and I think that all of them, just like any position, have a lot of different strengths. I think that right now, Ty is continuing to show a ton of command. I thought he did a better job today than the other two guys with that, so he continues to progress as a leader, and Keelon's ability to see the field and just his vision, his innate ability to make a play even potentially when there's not one there, is a really, really high level, and then Austin just has elite arm talent. A big guy that's strong and can power through things." Ryan Grubb on his message to Alabama's quarterbacks "Consistency. Take care of the ball. You gotta be a guy that can move us forward. I think one of the biggest things that we're stressing right now is minimizing negative yardage plays. Starts with us making sure we got the right mic points on protection or run scheme. So make sure the ball is moving forward and the o-line's on the same page, and then, you know, making great decisions with the football." Ryan Grubb on how Ty Simpson can win the starting job "He's got to do it every day between now and Florida State. When we start that preparation, whoever that person is has got to come out and be able to show that it's clearly him, and that's what this football team needs, and all three of those guys know that. So I think being able to show up and do that every day and not waver in and out of the type of player he is, the type of decision maker he is, the inconsistencies that a young quarterback would show or a quarterback that's not ready to start. So as long as Ty can do that, or one of the other guys, that's going to be the player that's going to start a quarterback." Ryan Grubb on when he'd prefer to name starting quarterback "Yesterday. Yesterday, if I'm being honest, but you've gotta let it run its course. It's not there yet, and we've been through this before, more than once, and you just gotta let it run its course. We've got a pretty detailed plan on how we'll figure those things out and information that we share with the guys every day, and when it's the right time, we'll be ready to pull the trigger."
