Alabama’s 2018 roster has been updated in time for SEC Media Days, and 21 scholarship newcomers -- and a graduate transfer placekicker -- are now listed alongside the Crimson Tide’s returning veterans.

The SEC’s official football media guide, which is set to be handed out at Media Days, is online and featured a roster for every conference team. So prior to the start of the annual event, Alabama’s 2018 football roster -- albeit not in UA media guide form -- was up a few days early.

And so BamaOnLine poured over the updated roster to get a glimpse of the jersey numbers and physical dimensions of the Crimson Tide’s newcomers. A few items stood out, including Slade Bolden being listed as a wide receiver after spending the entire spring at safety and offensive lineman Emil Ekiyor claiming the title of heaviest freshman at -- unless it’s a typo -- 342 pounds.

A late addition to Alabama’s 2018 class, quarterback Layne Hatcher, is also listed (at No. 18) and so is preferred walk-on Braxton Barker, who is wearing his father’s No. 7. Hatcher’s claim of No. 18 moved walk-on Chris Howard back to wide receiver after a spring at quarterback.

The Tide’s roster includes defensive lineman Christian Barmore, whose enrollment was in question. But the Philadelphia native tweeted “On my way to Bama” on June 30. The roster also featured Jordan Davis, but BamaOnLine has since been reported the linebacker has enrolled at Copiah-Lincoln (Miss.) Community College and will not enroll at Alabama this season.
