Even before spring practice officially began weeks ago, it was already widely known that the Alabama Crimson Tide would likely be among college football's top teams entering the 2025 season.
Entering year two of the Kalen DeBoer era, Alabama is coming off a 9-4 season in which the Crimson Tide ended up barely missing the College Football Playoff. Since, multiple prominent names such as Jalen Milroe, Tyler Booker, and Jihaad Campbell have since departed, leaving the Crimson Tide with some key holes to fill entering the offseason.
However, Alabama has since filled some of those same holes through the transfer portal, while also bringing in one of the nation's top 2025 high school recruiting classes.
