Alabama football’s second-year defensive back, Zabien Brown is a part of the growing California to Alabama trend under Kalen DeBoer.
The trend is one Zabien Brown feels Bryce Young paved the way for.
Brown and Young are both products of Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana, California. Both are also former five-star recruits.
The Crimson Tide had to beat out USC, Ohio State and several other prominent programs to pick up a commitment from Brown. He chose to stick with the Tide after Nick Saban retired and Kalen DeBoer took over. This choice paid dividends for the California product as he stood out as a true freshman.
