Caleb Woodson transitions smoothly to Alabama football from Virginia Tech

Caleb Woodson has quickly adapted to Alabama football after transferring from Virginia Tech. The linebacker has gained 13 pounds and embraces the SEC's competitive culture, aiming to lead his teammates. Woodson's experience from Virginia Tech, including 152 tackles and 11.5 tackles-for-loss, positions him well in Alabama's defensive scheme, similar to that which he was used to. Head coach Kalen DeBoer has recognized his leadership qualities, naming him a 'captain-type guy' within weeks of his arrival. The challenge of acclimating physically and mentally to the SEC seems to be going well as Alabama's fall camp progresses.
