Kalen DeBoer assesses Alabama RB room after second scrimmage

There is no shortage of talent in Alabama’s running back room. There are five running backs currently on scholarship, and head coach Kalen DeBoer spoke on what he has seen from the group so far this spring.

“I think all of the running backs in general are breaking some tackles, making more explosive plays,” DeBoer said, “Want to see the whole group continue to improve.”

The running back room features a blend of speed, power, and athleticism.

Two weeks ago, Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer was quoted saying “Kevin Riley is our shiftiest” running back.

Redshirt senior Dre Washington and sophomore Daniel Hill are more powerful runners that will be used primarily in short yardage situations.
