Who’s gonna light up the scoreboard for Alabama in 2026? With most transfers locked into the trenches, the real touchdown threats come from newcomers Josh Ford and Noah Rogers — but Rogers’ injury sidelines him, leaving Ford and freshmen Cederian Morgan and EJ Crowell in the spotlight.

These athletes, along with Crimson Tide staff, spent three days at Nike’s Oregon HQ diving into branding, sports science, and career development.
