Alabama's Kalen DeBoer is under the spotlight to bring the Crimson Tide back to the top of college football, and ultimately keep them there. The program received an important commitment from a four-star edge this weekend that could significantly help the team down the road.
USA TODAY's Tuscaloosa News and others report that 2028 linebacker Kysir Young has chosen Alabama. The athletic defender plays his high school football in Middletown, Delaware. He is widely regarded as the top prospect in his class in the state of Delaware.
Many of the top schools in the country, such as Miami, Ohio State and Georgia were hot on the trail for Young as well.
