Alabama football has been the talk of the sport for the last 24 hours after the world saw former offensive tackle Kadyn Proctor, who transferred to Iowa in January, announce he would be transferring back to the Crimson Tide on Tuesday.
Alabama Lands Big-Time Linebacker
Alabama also went into the recruiting pool to add to its roster on Wednesday and brought in one of the best linebackers in the 2025 class.
Hayes Fawcett from On3 reported Darrell, “Duke Johnson has committed to Alabama.

Johnson is from Eastman, Georgia, and chose Alabama over Texas A&M, Florida State, and UCF.
Fawcett also stated Johnson is ranked as the number two athlete in the 2025 class.
247sports.com has Johnson as the fifth overall linebacker in the 2025 class.
Kalen DeBoer Has Done A Great Job So Far
When Nick Saban announced his retirement in January, many people thought he was Alabama’s main attraction and that they would lose many recruits and players. However, new head coach Kalen DeBoer has done a great job landing players.
Of course, DeBoer has to prove it on the field, and nothing matters if you can’t win games, but he is having a perfect start to his Crimson Tide career.
The Crimson Tide might not win the title every other year, but it will be a playoff team and very meaningful games will be played in Tuscaloosa this fall.
