How many of Alabama's offensive linemen on its roster are on scholarship? How many of the walk-ons are legitimate players? Thanks. Trying to understand the Tide's depth situation.
I believe all of them now were offered and accepted schollies. There were rumors that Barrett Jones gave up his his last year or two years, to free up a scholly, since his family is well-off...How many of Alabama's offensive linemen on its roster are on scholarship?

I seriously doubt that any of those listed are walkons. Perhaps one the guys ('91, option22) who follow recruiting more closely than I can speak to it, but I think that I remember all of them as being pursued and recruited vigorously. Which are scholarshipped doesn't have to be released by the AD and that's the policy CNS has adhered to...Here's the roster:
Freshmen
Nolan Boatner
Lester Cotton
Brandon Kennedy
Richie Petitbon
Dallas Warmack
Matt Womack
Redshirt freshmen
Josh Casher
Ross Pierschbacher
Sophomores
Bradley Bozeman
J.C. Hassenauer
Cam Robinson
Juniors
Will Davis
Korren Kirven
Chris Posa
Alphonse Taylor
Seniors
Dominick Jackson
Ryan Kelly
Isaac Luatua
Brandon Moore
That's a total of 19 offensive linemen. Three of these players (Davis, Moore, Posa) are upperclassmen who have not lettered; suppose they are walk-ons. Boatner appears to be a walk-on, too. Any others?

I agree RTR91. Kirven was recruited as a DL but has moved to OL.Guys I don't recall being recruited are in bold.

But are they "recruited walkons?"You are correct. All of the guys in bold are walkons. . . and there has been no announcement that they have been given a scholly.
Going back to the 2011 class since a few guys remain from that class -Was trying to determine how many scholarships Alabama had devoted to offensive linemen. Not trying to diminish the roles of walk-ons.
