Alabama football will not have a scrimmage on April 12 for A-Day.
The Crimson Tide still plans to host their annual A-Day event, but it has been adjusted to reflect a practice instead of a controlled game.
Multiple college football programs have opted to take a similar route or have canceled their spring game due to concerns over the health of their players and the transfer portal window in April.
Kalen DeBoer says the transfer portal did not play a major role in this decision for him.
“We’ll have just more of a practice, a full practice like we would have any day and just again allow us kind of what I referred to earlier, be able to have a controlled setting, control just the reps that certain guys get,” DeBoer said.
