ESPN Unveils Alabama’s Hidden Gem: The 2026 Player No One Saw Coming

On Wednesday, ESPN’s panel of college football reporters unveiled their list of under-the-radar players for each team in the network’s post-spring top 25 rankings, including Alabama.

Among players described as those that could “play a significant role in a conference race or the chase for a College Football Playoff bid,” Woodson was the choice for Alabama in 2026.

ESPN’s Harry Lyles Jr. said of Woodson:

“‘Under the radar’ may not describe Woodson, because there should be hype around him coming into 2026. He was a key contributor on Brent Pry’s defense at Virginia Tech for three seasons, and he’s just a damn good athlete. He used to be a year-round competitive swimmer, starting at the age of 6 and continuing until he was 14. He originally played wide receiver, and decided to switch to defense because when he was going to football camps in his youth, the wide receiver and defensive back lines were long. He’s willing to do what needs to be done on the field and should fit in nicely at Alabama.”
