Alabama’s 2025 preview centers on a persistently live question: can the Tide generate pressure on the quarterback with the Wolf scheme and a deep, returning depth chart? The departure of Que Robinson loosens the edge but opens opportunities for a freshman-adjacent rotation to grow into real pass-rush snaps. Qua Russaw and Yhonzae Pierre figure to anchor the outside linebacker roles, while Noah Carter and Cayden Jones provide veteran presence in the rotation. A lone 2025 recruit, Justin Hill, adds a potential spark behind them.

The piece stresses that Alabama’s pass rush hinges on development and the schematic plan more than sheer name-brand talent. If the rotation hits and the scheme creates pressure more consistently, fantasy owners should eye early-season sacks from Russaw and Pierre as breakout indicators, while Hill’s path might tilt toward a redshirt year before a true impact season. Monitor how quickly they convert camp buzz into production against premier offenses.
