Alabama football never lost at home in coach Kalen DeBoer’s first season in Tuscaloosa. The same can’t be said for the road. The Crimson Tide finished 9-4 in 2024, and that includes losses to Vanderbilt, Tennessee, Oklahoma and Michigan away from Bryant-Denny Stadium. The loss to the Wolverines occurred in the ReliaQuest Bowl.

For DeBoer, media days marks the unofficial start of Year 2 in Tuscaloosa after a 9-4 campaign a year ago following Nick Saban's retirement. It's also his first chance to talk about what he's most looking forward heading into fall camp after a promising spring, position battles, what he and the program hope to improve on, and more.
