<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As we have mentioned before, Alabama is a state known for its success in the running game. That means that somewhere in the mix, there has to be some good linebackers bouncing around. Let's take the time to look at some of the best linebackers in the nation. When you talk about defense in Alabama, you are talking about some of the best football in the world. Nothing but studs come through this state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='228981' first='Jakaleb' last='Faulk']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Faulk is a dog who is always making plays in the trenches. He is a guy that does not mind coming up to make big hits. Faulk is a player that has good size at 200 pounds. He can move around very well on the field. He is a guy that I think will be an interior linebacker on the next level. Be sure to keep your eyes out for his name this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='744119' first='Bishop' last='Burkhalter']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Burkhalter is a guy that is an absolute dog on the field. He moves around on the field with a lot of aggression. Running backs do not want to see him coming. Burkhalter is a guy that brings the pain when he arrives at your door. He is a player that knows where to be. He is a guy that defensive coordinators want on their defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='242062' first='Yusuf' last='Clark']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Clark is a player that we all know about. His name gets mentioned all the time. Clark is a player that loves to read his keys. He is a guy that is going to make sure he attacks his players the right way. Clark is a big time player who is going to see his stock rise this season. You can expect to hear his name called a lot this year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='242254' first='Keyante' last='Pettaway']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pettaway is a guy that I was able to run across last season. His film caught my attention as soon as I saw his name on Twitter. Pettaway is a guy that I think is going to be an interior linebacker on the next level. He is a player that does not mind stepping up to make big plays. A lot of guys think that he is definitely one of the best players in Alabama. We get to see him make a lot of plays this season. He will be one of the leaders of their defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
