How he fits: Malachi Moore moved from the slot to deep safety for his fifth and final season, and was joined this spring by Michigan transfer Keon Sabb in the back end. Mack projects as the top backup safety. The second-team group this spring was inexperienced — freshman Peyton Woodyard and second-year Bray Hubbard — and the Tide lost Woodyard and another safety, Tony Mitchell, to the portal after spring practice. Mack was a top-100 high school recruit with upside to start in 2025.
