As the primary Transfer Portal window closed on December 28, 2024, Alabama Football, under first-year head coach Kalen DeBoer, experienced a relatively smooth cycle with minimal disruptions.
A significant addition to the Crimson Tide roster is running back Dre’lyn Washington, who transferred to Alabama to play under Coach DeBoer.
Despite these positive developments, Coach DeBoer faces scrutiny regarding his job security.
In his inaugural season, DeBoer led Alabama to a 9-4 record, marking the end of a 16-year streak of 10 or more wins per season.
As the team prepares for the upcoming season, the focus remains on leveraging new talent and maintaining stability within the program.
The next Transfer Portal window is scheduled to open after spring practices, from April 16 to April 25, 2025, providing another opportunity for roster adjustments.
Coach DeBoer’s ability to navigate these periods and strengthen the team’s performance will be crucial in determining his long-term tenure at Alabama.
