With the football season coming up, The Crimson White will do a position-by-position breakdown of the Crimson Tide’s roster. In conclusion: returners.

Who’s gone: None

Who’s still here: Christion Jones (junior), Dee Hart (redshirt sophomore), Cyrus Jones (sophomore), Kevin Norwood (senior), DeAndrew White (redshirt junior)

Who’s new: None

 

Standouts: Christion Jones and Cyrus Jones handled most of the punt-return duties last season. Christion Jones’ kickoff return for a touchdown against Ole Miss was the Crimson Tide’s only special teams score last season.

 

Outlook: Christion Jones is listed as the first-team punt returner, with Dee Hart backing him up after returning from a second season-ending injury. Cyrus Jones is listed as the second-team kickoff return man after switching from receiver to defensive back. Kevin Norwood and DeAndrew White also are shown as possible contributors on kickoff returns. Expect either Hart or Jones to return one punt for a touchdown as both settle in to their roles on special teams.
