Kalen DeBoer feels Ezavier Crowell has an opportunity to make an immediate impact in Tuscaloosa after signing with the Alabama Crimson Tide on Wednesday.
Crowell is a product of Jackson High School in Alabama, and he is a 2026 five-star recruit. He re-classified from the 2027 recruiting class to the 2027 class, choosing to skip his senior year of high school. The moment he decided to re-classify, DeBoer and his staff knew they had to make him a priority target.

“When he made the change to reclassify, it was immediate for us of what direction we wanted to go,” DeBoer said.
