Alabama returns two of the top inside linebackers in the country with Deontae Lawson and Jihaad Campbell, but there isn't a ton of experience at the position behind the veteran duo.
TUSCALOOSA, Ala.— Alabama has one of the best inside linebacker duos in the country with redshirt junior Deontae Lawson and junior Jihaad Campbell. The two combined for 133 tackles and 9.5 TFL last season.
"I think Justin Jefferson had an unbelievable spring, and I think he’s had an even better summer and really going into fall camp," Wommack said after Alabama's Thursday practice. "I would say Justin Jefferson is right there with those other two guys. I think we have three starter-type guys at linebacker from that position. Very impressed with him."
The inside linebacker appeared in all 14 games for Alabama last season, but mostly in a special teams capacity having to play behind guys like Lawson, Campbell, Trezmen Marshall and Kendrick Blackshire. He finished the year with just four tackles. Wommack has seen tremendous growth from Jefferson as he enters his second season with the Crimson Tide.
Wommack is in charge of the whole defense, but works the closest with the inside linebackers. Outside of Jefferson, the defesnive coordinator has also been impressed with some of the younger guys in the position group like redshirt sophomore Jeremiah Alexander and true freshman Justin Okoronkwo.
