Alabama football has dominated discussions in the sports world over the past day, following the announcement that Kadyn Proctor, a former offensive tackle who transferred to Iowa in January, will be returning to the Crimson Tide. Additionally, Alabama bolstered its roster by recruiting one of the top linebackers in the 2025 class, Johnson, who hails from Eastman, Georgia. Johnson opted for Alabama over offers from Texas A&M, Florida State, and UCF. According to Fawcett, Johnson is ranked as the second-best athlete in the 2025 class, while 247sports.com places him as the fifth overall linebacker in his class.
Kalen DeBoer Has Done A Great Job So Far
When Nick Saban retired in January, there were concerns that Alabama, with him as the main draw, would face challenges in retaining recruits and players. However, under the leadership of new head coach Kalen DeBoer, the Crimson Tide has excelled in securing talented individuals. While success on the field is the ultimate measure, DeBoer’s tenure has begun remarkably well at Alabama. While winning games is paramount, DeBoer’s early success sets a promising tone for his time with the Crimson Tide. While Alabama may not secure the championship every season, they are poised to remain a playoff contender, ensuring that significant matchups will take place in Tuscaloosa this coming fall.
