For the first time since 2006, Alabama football will experience a signing day without Nick Saban.
Instead, Kalen DeBoer is the new coach, having taken over for Saban after Saban retired on Jan. 10. While the Alabama football recruiting class for 2024 will largely go down as the work of Saban and his staff, DeBoer also had to work to keep as many of these signees and commitments as possible. There were a couple who left (Julian Sayin, Jaheer Grimsley), but DeBoer managed to keep the group mostly intact.
Like is the case most years, Alabama signed a majority of its recruiting class during the early signing period in December. Still, the Crimson Tide is expected to add a couple more players to the fold during National Signing Day on Wednesday.
Here’s a look at who Alabama and DeBoer added Wednesday as well as the players the Crimson Tide signed during the early signing period.
