Alabama football offseason news: Tide insiders discuss staff changes, roster updates, recruitment, and the transfer portal
As Kalen DeBoer begins a crucial second year in Tuscaloosa, the Bama247 team is keeping tabs on recruitment, staff changes, Alabama transfer portal news, and more.
Many teams can live with a 9-4 season and barely missing the College Football Playoff field, but the Tide’s 2024 switch from Nick Saban to Kalen DeBoer resulted in the fewest victories since 2007 at Alabama. For DeBoer and his staff, this offseason is crucial as they try to make the required changes to return to the top of the SEC and the CFP chase. Since athletes have just five days to submit their names to the college football transfer portal after Alabama’s loss to Michigan in the ReliaQuest Bowl on New Year’s Day, there will be a lot of news about Alabama football in the days ahead.

News about the Alabama football roster
Decisions made by the NFL by January 15 will have a significant impact on Alabama’s football team in 2025. Everyone is waiting for quarterback Jalen Milroe. Considered a controversial NFL prospect, Milroe is an undeniably dynamic athlete who occasionally battled in 2024 with accuracy and decision-making.
Up to ten more players, including safety Keon Sabb, linebackers Justin Jefferson and Jihaad Campbell, offensive guards Tyler Booker and Jaeden Roberts, and receiver Germie Bernard, are also considering their choices. Following the ReliaQuest Bowl, defensive lineman LT Overton made an announcement about his comeback.
In terms of the portal, Alabama has already lost a significant number of their wide receivers, including cornerback DeVonta Smith (Notre Dame) and running back Justice Haynes (Michigan). Jaren Hamilton, one of the Tide’s five scholarship receivers who dressed out against Michigan, made an announcement following the game.
The Tide are anticipated to keep searching for additional depth behind star Ryan Williams, who will be a sophomore in 2025, as Isaiah Horton, who had 56 receptions for Miami in 2024, is traveling to Alabama through the portal.
