The Alabama Crimson Tide is set to continue its tradition of excellence with a talented incoming class ranked No. 3 nationally by 247Sports. Head coach Kalen DeBoer and his staff are optimistic about the contributions several freshmen can make as the 2025 season approaches.
Lotzier Brooks emerges as a standout among newcomers, generating buzz during spring practice. The New Jersey native, expected to start in the slot, has impressed coaches with his speed and body control. “He can win down the field as well as in the first couple of yards,” DeBoer noted, indicating Brooks could be a key player for the Tide.
Dijon Lee Jr., a towering 6-foot-2 cornerback, has sparked conversation regarding a potential shift to safety. Defensive coordinator Kane Wommack emphasized Lee’s strong footwork and maturity, suggesting he may contribute significantly this season.
Another promising freshman, Ivan Taylor, the son of former NFL star Ike Taylor, showcased remarkable skills during Alabama’s A-Day practice, including an early interception. Wommack praised Taylor’s discipline and tackling abilities, noting his energy and eagerness to learn, all of which bode well for his future at Alabama.
While Keelon Russell, a five-star quarterback, faces stiff competition from Ty Simpson for the starting position, DeBoer highlighted Russell’s consistency and potential to be a game-changer as the season unfolds.
Lastly, Michael Carroll Jr. adds depth to Alabama’s formidable offensive line, thriving in a versatile role that could see him evolve into a starter.
As Alabama prepares for a fresh season, all eyes will be on these first-year athletes to continue the legacy of impactful newcomers in the Crimson Tide program.
