Kalen DeBoer, Alabama Football Turn Heads After Landing Another Elite 5-Star Commit

Although Nick Saban is gone, the Alabama Crimson Tide remains as one of the best recruiting programs in college football. Kalen DeBoer has kept his program competitive for the long haul after acquiring another five-star commitment from the 2025 recruiting class.

On Saturday, five-star wide receiver, Caleb Cunningham, made his official decision to play for Alabama, per Hayes Fawcett of On3 Sports. Cunningham is a 6-3 wideout who has the potential of making an immediate impact once he joins the Crimson Tide in 2025.

Cunningham chose Alabama over Auburn, Mississippi State, and Ole Miss. Additionally, the five-star commit shared a fired-up statement after choosing the Crimson Tide.

"I don't give a p*** about nothing but the Tide!"

Caleb Cunningham joins an impressive recruiting class for Kalen DeBoer. The five-star wide receiver will play alongside five-star quarterback commit, Keelon Russell. Additionally, Alabama also picked up a five-star cornerback this offseason in Dijon Lee.

Combine those three guys with Alabama's other 14 four-star commits and you have yourself a dangerously good recruiting class. Kalen DeBoer has done well for himself after leaving the Washington Huskies already, as the Crimson Tide are ranked second in the nation for commitments, according to On3 Sports.

The future remains bright for Alabama as Kalen DeBoer has seemingly built a strong foundation following Nick Saban's retirement. Between a solid coaching staff and finding success in the transfer portal, the Crimson Tide should remain competitive next season.

Although the SEC has some new faces, such as the Texas Longhorns, Alabama is certainly going to be in the mix for the SEC Championship. The Crimson Tide could start the season a little rocky though, as the team adjusts to Kalen DeBoer's coaching style. But expectations should remain high.

Kalen DeBoer hasn't missed a step in recruiting, as he built a championship contender in Washington last season. Now that he's in Alabama, he should be able to continue building a championship contender, which is what Crimson Tide fans come to expect.
