Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer and multiple assistant coaches have hit the recruiting trail these past two weeks. DeBoer made the trek to south Georgia on Tuesday for an in-home visit with 2026 four-star athlete Heze Kent. Kent recently placed Alabama as one of five finalists to land his commitment.
Kent did not include Alabama in his top 10 last June. However, the Alabama coaching staff and Kent have remained in touch. Ultimately, the communication has been enough for Kent to include Alabama in the mix.
It does not take much for college coaches to be intrigued by Kent.
