Under Kalen DeBoer, Alabama football recruiting: SEC insiders’ 2025 rankings, updates, and players to watch

After Alabama’s Nick Saban announced his resignation as head coach, the dust has started to settle. Kalen DeBoer, a former Washington coach who guided the Huskies to the national championship game the previous year, was hired by the Crimson Tide. Although DeBoer took over with a roster full of elite athletes, a number of Crimson Tide players, including previous top recruits like safety Caleb Downs, quarterback Julian Sayin, and wide receiver Isaiah Bond, have since made their way onto the college football transfer portal. Alabama football prospects have a few prominent needs to meet.
DeBoer has seen a meteoric rise in college football because he’s a proven winner. He led the Huskies to a 25-3 record in his two seasons at the helm despite not landing a top-25 recruiting class at Washington. DeBoer is juggling a new staff, Alabama football recruiting, and the transfer portal, leading to plenty of Alabama football news updates in the coming months as spring practice approaches in March.
