Fall camp in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, is underway, and Year 2 of the Kalen DeBoer era has begun. Year 1 ended in disappointment, missing out on the College Football Playoff and finishing with just nine wins, so the pressure is on everyone, from DeBoer on down through the program, to reestablish the standard of excellence.
DeBoer could find his way onto the hot seat with another underwhelming season, though the pressure begins to mount for him once the Tide take the field in Tallahassee for a Week 1 matchup with Florida State. For these five players, however, the pressure is already on, not even a week into fall camp.
