TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Less than 24 hours after National Signing Day ended, the University of Alabama football program updated its online roster on Thursday evening. 

Added were the 14 early enrollees from the recruiting class of 2021, along with their initial heights and weights as true freshmen. The new listings did not have their assigned jersey numbers. 

Meanwhile, the roster no longer included players who are apparently no longer enrolled at the university. The spring semester began last month.

As for the apparent departures, they included linebacker Ben Davis, who did participate in Alabama's Senior Day ceremony last season, and tight end Michael Parker, who was listed as a sophomore last season. 

Skylar Delong was not with the team last year. He was removed from the roster for a day last July, which was later described as being premature as the punter was said to be mulling over possibly returning.  

Charlie Scott, who punted most of last season, is still on the Alabama roster.

None of the new coaches had extra titles associated with them. The only coach who apparently has one is Associate Defensive Coordinator/Safeties Charles Kelly.
