Looking Ahead

With a mix of traditional rivalries and challenging matchups, the 2025 season promises excitement for Crimson Tide fans. Under the leadership of the new coaching staff, Alabama aims to continue its legacy of excellence on the field.

The 2025 spring transfer portal window has officially closed, and Alabama football emerged with a remarkably stable roster under new head coach Kalen DeBoer. Unlike many programs that experienced significant player turnover, the Crimson Tide maintained continuity, losing no scholarship players during the spring window—a notable achievement in the current era of college football.

Transfer Portal Activity: A Closer Look

 Departures

During the spring transfer window, Alabama saw the departure of a few walk-on players: linebacker Noland Asberry, offensive lineman Jackson Howell, defensive backs Alijah May, Chase Davis, and Prince Butler, and wide receiver Colby Cruz. These players did not hold scholarship positions, so their exits did not impact the team’s scholarship count or depth chart significantly.

This minimal attrition is particularly impressive considering the broader context of the 2024–25 transfer cycle, during which Alabama lost over 20 players following a 9–3 season.

 Additions

While the spring window was quiet in terms of departures, Alabama was active earlier in the transfer cycle, securing key additions to bolster the roster:

• Keon Sabb (Safety): Transferred from Michigan, where he started five games in 2023, including the National Championship Game. Sabb brings experience and depth to the secondary.
• Isaiah Horton (Wide Receiver): Joined from Miami, where he had 13 receptions for 168 yards and a touchdown in 2023. At 6-foot-4, Horton adds size and potential to the receiving corps.
• Parker Brailsford (Center): A standout from Washington, Brailsford was named second-team All-Pac-12 in 2023 and played a key role in an offensive line that won the Joe Moore Award.

These additions address specific needs and reflect DeBoer’s strategic approach to roster management.

Coaching Influence and Roster Stability

Head coach Kalen DeBoer’s emphasis on roster stability and player development has been evident. His message to players considering transfers was clear: “The grass isn’t always greener.” This philosophy, combined with a focus on building depth and competition within the team, has contributed to the program’s retention success.

The coaching staff’s ability to maintain a cohesive roster during a period of significant change speaks to their effectiveness in communication and player engagement.

Looking Ahead

With the spring transfer window closed, Alabama’s focus shifts to summer workouts and fall camp preparations. The team aims to integrate new additions, refine strategies, and build upon the stability achieved during the offseason. The combination of returning talent and strategic transfers positions the Crimson Tide for a competitive 2025 season.
