With Que Robinson sidelined due to a season-ending elbow injury, Alabama’s defense is evaluating potential replacements to maintain edge presence and pressure. Robinson, previously a consistent performer with seven tackles for loss and four sacks, leaves a significant void. Alabama’s coaching staff, led by defensive coordinator Kane Wommack, is exploring increased roles for veteran players like Dallas Turner and promising underclassmen such as Jeremiah Alexander. Freshman Keon Keeley may also see expanded duties given his recruitment pedigree and developmental potential.
Outside linebackers’ coach Christian Robinson emphasized that any replacement must leverage their unique skill sets and athletic traits to match Robinson’s disruptive impact on the line.
