How this page is made: Rosters: official West Alabama rosters, 2024–25 and 2025–26, read from the athletic department's own site · New this season: players not listed on the 2024–25 roster; a newcomer who is not a freshman counts as a transfer addition · Openings: Depth Chart's roster projection from listed class years; confidence stated per year · Sample: among players who made a college roster — the data cannot see who didn't. Among players who made a college roster. Model judgments describe positions and cohorts, never a named player's future. Refreshed automatically when the rosters change.
