Justin Hill is emerging as Alabama’s next disruptive Wolf linebacker
In the 2026 season, Alabama sophomore Justin Hill looks like a fast-rising fit at Wolf linebacker after playing in all 15 games as a freshman and posting 10 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, and a pass breakup. At 6-foot-3 and 244 pounds, he brings size, burst off the snap, and steady improvement that coaches and observers have highlighted this offseason. He’s not the finished product yet, but his motor, versatility, and growing role make him a strong bet for a defense that wants edge pressure with linebacker flexibility.
