DeBoer has answers for both Alabama’s offense and defense heading into the 2025 season. When it comes to special teams, the Crimson Tide coach did not sugarcoat things. “That’s the tricky one,” DeBoer said.

SEC football media days continued on July 16, with Alabama, Florida, Mississippi State and Oklahoma making appearances. Here are the highlights.
