As the Alabama Crimson Tide begin to turn the page to 2025, the program is likely to see some turnover on the roster once again this offseason, the first full one for head coach Kalen DeBoer in Tuscaloosa.
Yes, when DeBoer took over in Tuscaloosa, the majority of movement in the transfer portal had already happened, with some of the biggest names from last offseason having already committed. Alabama also saw a mass roster exodus after Nick Saban retired, with DeBoer having to try to build a roster after that happened.
After year one however, DeBoer will now have a full offseason to work with entering 2025, a year where Alabama is expected to be among college football’s top teams once again. However, just what will the Crimson Tide’s roster look like?
To help answer that question, we here at Roll Tide Wire will be keeping a 2025 Alabama football roster tracker throughout the offseason that will keep track of the current depth chart, departures, and more at every position.
