Kalen DeBoer left Washington before the Huskies joined the Big Ten. Still, even with the SEC’s rival league stretching to include the Pacific Northwest, Southern California, and New Jersey, Big Ten country is still the Midwest, and the Alabama head coach is looking to pluck a four-star 2027 safety recruit right out of the heart of it.
Kaleb Elkins will have a busy fall. The four-star safety from Indianapolis has scheduled fall visits to Michigan, Kentucky, Louisville, Tennessee, Indiana, Ohio State, and Tuscaloosa, Alabama. As one of three SEC teams earning a look from Elkins, the Crimson Tide will have a chance to blow him away with the atmosphere at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
