The Alabama Crimson Tide hired former Washington coach Kalen DeBoer following Nick Saban’s retirement. DeBoer will have big shoes to fill, especially on the Alabama football recruiting trail. Saban has landed college football’s top prospects for years and now DeBoer will be tasked with keeping the Crimson Tide’s roster loaded with star players. That could be a challenge after DeBoer failed to recruit a top-25 class in his two full seasons at Washington.
Despite not landing a top-25 recruiting class at Washington, DeBoer led the Huskies to a 25-3 record in his two seasons at the helm. Being a winner could draw some of the nation’s top prospects to one of the most notable programs in college football and keep existing recruits like four-star receiver Rico Scott around.
