Every year I try to take a look at the roster and find a player I think thats going to elevate his game and have eyes turning their way. and I have two, one on Offense and One on Defense.
Offense- Jahleel Billingsley- 6' 4 229 lb Junior TE, 2020 season, 18 catches for 287 yds and 3 TDS. Look for this guy to be thrown to more than ever. Great hands, solid routes and a solid option on 3rd downs. I really like this guy, he will be a force to watch.
Defense-Chris Braswell- 6'3 220 lb Soph LB. This guy can create terror at the edges. A redshirt and a player ready to breakout by all accounts. His A Day appearance made my radar. Looks like a beast, and I am ready to see Bama back at the top in that position. I can not wait to see him play.

Who are yours?
 
Defense: To'o To'o is the name that's going to break out. The player I look forward to seeing the most is probably Tim Smith.

Offense: Bryce is the name, Williams and Billingsley are the two I'm looking forward to watching the most on this side of the ball.
 
On D - Aside from the Tennessee LB transfer, I think Hellams is the guy that will pop the most. He's significantly more physical than most DB's and is looking for physicality. Hoping it doesn't lead to more suspensions, but he's around the ball a whole lot and makes plays. Not sure if he has the ball-hawking ability of Eddie Jackson, but he appears to have the same edge and aggression.

On O - The safer pick for me is Roydell Williams. I just think he's got all the tools to be our top overall back... Was overlooked coming into UA due to all the talent at RB in the last few classes. The left field pick would be JoJo Earle. I see too much Waddle in him to not be a difference maker... Not sure if he can get on the field significantly this year, but if he does, he's going to be impressive.
 
Gonna cheat a name a few on both sides.

Defense - William And... joking. I think Hellams is gonna have a heck of a year. He really looked fast at A-Day. Brian Branch. He looked almost there last year, and I think this year he really hits the mark. Drew Sanders. He's so big and aggressive that I find it hard to believe he will not see the field and show his ability. Sandees is more maybe of who I want to break out than who will, but he's a big ole boy I'd like to see play some.

Offense - Jase McClellan. Not 100% certain on qhere Sanders is or what we get out of Brian Robinson, but Jase is a guy I think gets a chance and runs with it. Agiye Hall. He was a guy I was excited to see for A-Day and he did not disappoint. Reminds me of Kevin Norwood, Mr. Clutch. Jojo Earle. As someone said, fast and Waddle like, so think he carves out a role as a Freshman. Jameson Williams. I think his speed will allow him to shine with Metchie commanding attention. Basically I'm pumped about the receivers.

Wanna see the most? Camar Wheaton.
 
Defense: Ray - Time to put injuries behind him.

Offense: Have to say Young because of the position but like Ray on defense I will go with Sanders to make a strong come back.

We need a specialist to show out in kick/punt returns. Put even more pressure on opponents. @Tidestalker mentioned JoJo Earle being Waddle like. I sure as heck hope so and if he is even close you will not keep him off the field.
