Kalen DeBoer’s first Alabama football signing class has quickly made waves on the national recruiting scene. The class, which was finalized during the 2024 early signing period, ranks as one of the top in the country, positioning the Crimson Tide firmly within the elite echelon of college football programs.
Currently, Alabama’s 2024 recruiting class is ranked No. 2 nationally according to major recruiting services such as 247Sports and Rivals, just behind Georgia. This ranking reflects the program’s continued dominance on the recruiting trail despite transitioning to a new coaching regime. DeBoer, who was hired as the new head coach following a successful stint at Washington, has managed to secure commitments from some of the nation’s most coveted high school prospects, further cementing Alabama’s reputation for elite recruiting.
A standout feature of the class is its depth and talent across all positions, particularly on the defensive line and in the secondary. Alabama secured commitments from several five-star recruits, including an elite defensive tackle and a highly regarded cornerback, both of whom are expected to make immediate impacts. The class also boasts a top-tier quarterback, signaling that DeBoer is eager to continue Alabama’s legacy of developing elite signal-callers.
DeBoer’s ability to maintain Alabama’s recruiting momentum, especially amidst the challenges of following a coaching legend like Nick Saban, speaks to his skill and vision for the program. As National Signing Day approaches, Alabama fans are excited about what this class can do in the years to come, with DeBoer at the helm shaping the next generation of Tide football talent.
