Alabama football’s head coach Kalen DeBoer feels this offseason will be important for the development of Richard Young.

Young is preparing for his third season with the Crimson Tide after signing with Alabama as one of the top running back prospects in the 2023 recruiting class. DeBoer thinks growth is required for Young to take the next step in his game.

“He’s more of a physical back,” DeBoer said Friday after Alabama’s second spring scrimmage. “Got his carries today just like the rest of them, want to continue to see him just grow. I think a big offseason for him this summer is going to be important.
