There's a position group Alabama State football coach Eddie Robinson Jr. claims is deeper and more talented compared to last season.
Through the transfer portal during the offseason, the Hornets reloaded at the cornerback position — adding seasoned players with more height to the room.
It's hard to be critical of Alabama State's passing defense in the 2025 season. The Hornets finished second in the SWAC when it came to passing yards allowed, and middle of the pack when it came to passing touchdowns. But it was a position that saw a handful of combinations in the starting rotation.
Throughout the early part of Alabama State's fall camp, there has been a heavy rotation again, but for good reason.
"So it's a lot of options," Robinson told the Montgomery Advertiser concerning the position battle in camp. "It'll sort itself out, as they say, but I think the competition is what makes everybody play their best."
