ESPN ranks the Top 100 players from the 2023 CFB season

Next Monday evening Michigan and Washington will square off in the 2024 national championship to conclude another great season of college football. Unfortunately, the Alabama Crimson Tide were unable to secure their 19th national championship this season, but it was still an incredible season regardless. From an insane come back win against Auburn to an emphatic SEC Championship victory over Georgia, there is much to celebrate.

After a Week 2 loss to Texas and Week 3 struggle win against USF it looked as if the Tide were dead in the water, so not enough can be said of the team’s heart and resiliency. Even in the midst of the struggles, Alabama has always been one of the most talented teams in the country and it took some growth and changes from the coaching staff to get there. It’s easy to forget that heading into this season Alabama started the season with two new coordinators and a new starting quarterback who had to replaces the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. Eventually, the talent began to show as the Tide rattled off 11 straight wins to get to the Rose Bowl semi-final.

ESPN ranked their Top 100 players from the 2023 college football season which included eight members of the Crimson Tide. Seven of which came in the Top 50, see below for the entire list of Alabama players.

“Dallas Turner wasn’t the only edge defender on Alabama’s team who wreaked havoc this season. Braswell, a 6-3, 255-pound senior, was second to Turner with eight sacks. His three forced fumbles led the Tide, and he also had a 28-yard interception return for a touchdown against Mississippi State.”

Braswell was one of the most underrated players on the entire Tide roster with 42 total tackles, eight sacks and three forced fumbles. He will be the lead man in the Tide’s front seven next season.
