Kalen DeBoer answered the question of whether or not he could recruit with an emphatic yes in his first cycle on the trail as the Alabama head coach. He landed a Top 5 recruiting class in the 2025 cycle, pulling in a plethora of blue-chippers, several of whom have looked the part in spring practice and fall camp.
Guys like Dijon Lee and Lotzeir Brooks were stars of spring practice. Lee will have a role on the Tide's defense, and Brooks seemed to be trending toward a rotational spot at WR before an injury that has cost him valuable reps in fall camp.
