Injuries opening up opportunities for younger guys to step up

The Alabama Crimson Tide began spring practice on Monday. During his press conference, Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer was asked about the injuries and its impact on younger guys or inexperienced players getting reps.

“With the (injury) list, there’s a lot of guys that are returners and upperclassmen, so there’s a chance to build depth with our guys and get younger guys a lot of reps.”

Prior to that statement, DeBoer elaborated on the fact that a multitude of returning players will miss spring practices due to injury. With that being the case, other players that are returning and newcomers will have a better opportunity to make a name for themselves during the 2025 season.
