Kalen DeBoer gives updates on Deontae Lawson after he misses spring practice

Kalen DeBoer recently provided an update on Alabama linebacker, Deontae Lawson after the linebacker missed the entire spring while recovering from a season-ending injury.

Lawson’s 2024 season came to an end when he suffered a lower-body injury against Oklahoma. He previously shared he was on pace to return to action in the fall while talking with the Crimson Tide Sports Network.

DeBoer shared Lawson embraced the role of being more of a leader without being suited up this spring.

“Deontae is doing an amazing job while he’s been coming back from his injury of just being a leader, coaching, being engaged,” DeBoer said while talking to reporters in Mobile at a Team Focus charity event.
