Kalen DeBoer and the University of Alabama football coaching staff signed 21 student-athletes for its 2025 recruiting class.
Alabama brought in one of the nation’s top classes on Wednesday in the early signing period. The class contains four offensive linemen, four linebackers, three defensive backs, two tight ends, two wide receivers, a punter, a quarterback, and a running back.

Seven of the Crimson Tide’s 21 signees are from California, but Alabama did get two in-state prospects, three from Georgia, two from Florida, two from Mississippi, and one from Texas to cover the south to southeast region. The Tide got one player from Nevada, one from New Jersey, one from Ohio, and one from Canada.
