Noah Wilder is looking for a new neighbor.
The redshirt senior dominated the middle of the field with the UAB defense the last two seasons, alongside all-conference linebacker Kris Moll, but the latter moved back to safety this offseason, opening up an intense struggle for the vacated spot.
“The competition has been great,” UAB defensive coordinator and inside linebackers coach David Reeves said. “We’ve got newcomers in there, we’ve got young guys that are growing up and it’s going to be a wide-open race all through the entire spring. We’re excited about it. Everybody’s working hard and that should be a revolving door at that position because of that.”

Just give Bill Clark his honorary doctorate in history because the UAB head coach keeps making his own after leading an underdog UAB football team on the road to its second league title in program history.
The Blazers (6-3, 4-1 C-USA) put together a first-half defensive masterpiece and bullied their way on the ground to a 22-13 win over the Marshall Thundering Herd in the 2020 Ryan Conference USA Championship, Friday, Dec. 18, at Joan C. Edwards Stadium in Huntington, West Virginia.
UAB produced 468 total yards of offense with a balanced attack that saw the running game and passing attack work in-tandem against the top scoring defense and second-ranked total defense in the nation.
