Alabama LB Deontae Lawson's latest honor puts him in rare company in Tide history

Alabama announced its team captains for the 2025 football season on Thursday, the second year in a row the captains were announced before the start of the season, a stark change from how things were done during the Nick Saban era. Under Saban, captains were always named after the season was over. Kalen DeBoer prefers to have the captains known prior to the season.

For the second consecutive year, teammates voted LB Deontae Lawson as a team captain. He'll be joined by fellow fifth-year senior Tim Keenan III, and two redshirt juniors - Ty Simpson and Parker Brailsford.
