BOL Recruiting Show: Kalen DeBoer visible in Alabama on recruiting trail | Needs for Tide in 2026
Alabama fans, welcome back to the BamaOnLine recruiting show!
Site Publisher Tim Watts, recruiting editor Andrew Bone and recruiting analyst Joseph Hastings team up to discuss Alabama’s recruiting efforts with Kalen DeBoer and staff getting a head start in the 2026 class after wrapping up their portal efforts.
The Tide are looking to build upon a 2025 class that currently sits at No. 2 in the On3 Industry Team Recruiting Rankings. They’re already off to a good start in the state with a Top 100 commit in the 2026 group (Zyan Gibson), and a pair of coveted sophomore pass rushers committed (Ba’Roc Willis and JaBarrius Garror).
