No. 21 Alabama Loses DL Jeremiah Beaman for the Season because of a Lower-Body Injury
Jeremiah Beaman, a 6-foot-4, 314-pound redshirt freshman, injured his knee in practice and will miss the season, challenging Alabama's defensive line depth, coach said.
Wednesday, Alabama defensive tackle and redshirt freshman Jeremiah Beaman suffered a lower-body knee injury during ULM-week practice, and head coach Kalen DeBoer said he's expected to miss the rest of the season.
After Tim Keenan's ankle absence, Jeremiah Beaman started Week 1 and earned extra reps during bowl prep due to prior injuries.
Beaman, a 6-foot-4, 314-pound redshirt freshman from Parker High School, Birmingham, Ala., played a career-high 21 snaps and recorded one quarterback hurry in the 31-17 loss last week after appearing in three games in 2024.
With Beaman lost for the year, Alabama will turn to Edric Hill, Isaia Faga and London Simmons behind starter James Smith, as Beaman's injury forces depth changes in the defensive line.
Coaches acknowledged the injury continues a pattern among Alabama's interior linemen, with Kalen DeBoer saying Tim Keenan III is progressing and Kane Wommack praising Beaman's strides.
