SEC Media Days Schedule: How to keep up with Alabama, other teams in Dallas

The unofficial start to college football is almost here with SEC Media Days set to begin tomorrow in Dallas. Media members, as well as head coaches, student-athletes and even fans from the conference’s 16 schools, will congregate at the Omni Dallas Hotel this week to welcome another season of SEC football, while the representatives of the universities meander through a stuffed schedule of print, radio and TV interviews in downtown Dallas.

Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer will go through his first SEC Media Days, and he will be joined in Dallas by a trio of players – offensive lineman Tyler Booker, quarterback Jalen Milroe and defensive back Malachi Moore. The Alabama contingent will make the rounds at the hotel on Wednesday, July 17, during the morning portion of the annual media event. 

DeBoer and his players will be asked a wide variety of questions, some that were already asked during the spring and some that won’t be answered until the Tide begins preseason practice in less than a month. We are sure to hear questions about DeBoer taking over Alabama’s program following the retirement of Nick Saban, but hopefully, there will be time for questions about the roster and some of the position battles of interest in fall camp.

Those include the offensive line, which should have Parker Brailsford and Kadyn Proctor back with the first team after missing part, or all, of spring practice. On the defensive side of the ball, the secondary is probably the biggest question mark with multiple starters needing replacing in the back end. In addition to talking the preseason competitions, how the team looked in summer workouts and which young players are standing out will be noteworthy.

But we will have full coverage of those storylines and more at BamaOnLine when Alabama goes through the gauntlet on Wednesday. In the meantime, we included full details below as to how to watch the league’s annual media days all week on the SEC Network, as well as a complete schedule for interviews in Dallas, which includes each school’s representatives.
