In ESPN's post-spring top 25
Spring update: It has been 131 days since legendary Alabama coach Nick Saban unexpectedly retired, and they're still playing college football in Tuscaloosa. Just a friendly reminder that Saban's replacement, Kalen DeBoer, had a 104-12 record in his previous three stops and directed Washington to a spot in the CFP National Championship last season. Yes, a boatload of players left for the NFL draft or via the transfer portal, but Alabama has enough talent remaining to compete at a high level. The offense looked explosive in the spring with returning quarterback Jalen Milroe and young tailbacks Jamarion Miller and Justice Haynes. The Tide's offensive line can only get better after allowing 49 sacks in 2023. Getting offensive tackle Kadyn Proctor back from the transfer portal was a coup for DeBoer. Defensive lineman LT Overton (Texas A&M), safety Keon Sabb (Michigan) and two Washington transfers -- guard Parker Brailsford and receiver Germie Bernard -- should help right away.
