Kalen DeBoer couldn't lead Alabama into the College Football Playoff during his first season as head coach at the program. The Crimson Tide went 9-3 in the regular season, then lost to Michigan in the ReliaQuest Bowl.
But DeBoer has been quite successful on the recruiting trail since arriving in Tuscaloosa. The Tide's 2025 class ranks fourth in the nation (per 247Sports Composite), which has them behind only Texas, Georgia and Ohio State.
With National Signing Day taking place Wednesday, Alabama's 2025 recruiting class is essentially already set. The Crimson Tide had 21 players send in their national letters of intent during the early signing period in December, with 18 of them enrolled on campus.
