Bama lands first punter commit of Kalen DeBoer era
The Alabama Crimson Tide have landed their first special teams commitment (at the high school level) under head coach Kalen DeBoer.
On Saturday, recently offered punter Alex Asparuhov announced his commitment to Bama’s program. His decision was made during a multi-day official visit to Tuscaloosa, which is still underway for Asparuhov and his family.
Alabama extended an offer to Asparuhov after the Tide’s Special Team Camp last weekend. He has also recently received offers from Florida and Oklahoma. The Gators received an official visit from the No. 3 kicker (per Kohl’s Kicking) earlier this week.

Kohl’s Kicking provided the following analysis of Asparuhov:
“Asparuhov might be the most fundamentally sound punter in the 2025 class,” the analysis read. “He scored well at the Underclassman Challenge by accumulating 109.71 points. When in rhythm, his control and repeatability is special. He scored over 109 points on a cold 40-degree night in December of 2023. He made a big jump at the Western Showcase Camp earlier in the year. He graded out at the 5.0-star level as a punter and 4.5-star level as a kicker.
“Asparuhov scored 110.2 points in punting, 6 of 15 points on field goals, and 103.1 points on kick-offs. His punting is very impressive and he is already a college prospect in punting. He competed at his first Kohl’s ranking event during the 2022 Kohl’s California Winter Showcase Camp. He finished with a 39.5-yard average throughout the punt charting.”
Along with visiting Bama the past two weekends, Asparuhov made his way out to Tuscaloosa for a spring visit as well.
