Kalen DeBoer isnā€™t sure how much of his roster heā€™ll have for No. 11 Alabamaā€™s matchup against Michigan in the ReliaQuest Bowl. However, when it comes to Crimson Tideā€™s NFL draft hopefuls, heā€™s optimistic theyā€™ll be sticking around for one more game.


DeBoer was asked about potential opt-outs several times during a 20-minute Zoom call Sunday night. While the head coach is still waiting for players to make decisions about their futures, heā€™s optimistic heā€™ll have the majority of his stars against Michgian.


ā€œI feel like right now weā€™re in a place where most of those guys are planning on playing,ā€ DeBoer said of Alabamaā€™s potential NFL draft picks. ā€œI donā€™t care what round they are playing on going in. Weā€™ll see, but thatā€™s my early just understanding. ā€¦ These guy are committed to this place, and thereā€™s been a streak of 10-win seasons, and theyā€™ve got a lot of pride in this program and want to continue to move forward and want to play and spend one more game with their brothers here on this football.ā€
