If Kirby runs the same defense as Saban, then there are two safety spots, star and money positions. Four safeties on the field at the same time can easily be done.

Star is a nickleback, not really a safety but a corner. You could plug a safety/LB hybrid there but but you still need decent coverage skills.

I'd be surprised if Kirby took four safeties solely to fill Star and Money, i'd think he would be more likely to rotate a corner in. Heyward looks more like a corner than a safety though, 5'10 with track speed
