Alabama football fans have a head coach that can recruit everywhere, and they are overjoyed.
Kalen DeBoer continues to debunk the narrative that he cannot recruit the south.
RELATED: Alabama’s coaching staff, players reacts to 5-star WR committing to Crimson Tide for 2025
He pulled in his third 5-star commitment in wide receiver, Caleb Cunningham from Mississippi. The 6-foot-1, 190-pounder is a star playmaker at Choctaw County High School, giving the Crimson Tide its 21st verbal commitment for the 2025 class.
Cunningham is a big-play receiver with deceptive speed, strong hands, and smooth routes.
Alabama is building an explosive offense for years to come.
Tide fans reacted to the news via social media.
They said we wouldn’t recruit well in the south anymore 😹😹😹😹 https://t.co/0hE9h1gD96
