Alabama fans praised him for getting five-star freshman, Ryan Williams to recommit and sign with the Crimson Tide, but Kalen DeBoer’s biggest accomplishment as head coach was keeping the Tide’s veteran in-state players.
He got names such as Malachi Moore, Deontae Lawson, Tim Kennan III, Quandarrius Robinson, Jah-Marien Latham, and Kobe Prentice to buy into his philosophy. All of these names are Alabama natives and the University of Alabama means everything to them. Moore, Robinson, and Latham were three players on the Tide’s 2020 College Football Playoff National Championship team as freshman during the Coronavirus pandemic. They know what it takes to be a champion, and all three want that feeling again.
