Kalen DeBoer sat down with 247 Sports’ Josh Pate recently, and he discussed two positions Alabama could see perform better in 2025.
DeBoer is confident in Alabama football’s wide receiver and defensive back room ahead of the 2025 season.
The Crimson Tide added talent to their wide receiver room via the transfer portal and the high school ranks.
“I think JaMarcus Shepherd with the receiving group, we had some turnover and really some guys that we’ve brought into the program that I think add to Ryan Williams and Germie Bernard,” DeBoer said. “It’s just really fun seeing the personality of Shep come out in that group, really attacking everything, the work there. I’m excited about the development of that position.”
Alabama returns multiple starters in the secondary, and DeBoer feels this remains a plus.
“And then the defensive backs is, a year ago where we were at, and we had names,” DeBoer said. “We brought guys in, but they were completely new to this program and in many cases, completely new to college football coming out of high school. We took some lumps, but those lumps, I think, relative to what people probably thought we were gonna take at that position is a tribute to Mo Linquist and what he does with the defensive backs there and Kane Womack as the coordinator. I’m excited about those two groups as you mentioned and just how different they are than they were a year ago.”
Alabama football has its eyes set on having a strong summer.
