Save the Date, Alabama Fans: 2025 A-Day Game Announced
The Crimson Tide has officially set the date for its highly anticipated 2025 A-Day Game, marking the end of its 15-practice spring session. Alabama will showcase its new lineup with a scrimmage at Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday, April 12. The exact start time will be revealed later.
A New Era Under Kalen DeBoer
As Alabama enters Year 2 of the Kalen DeBoer era, all eyes will be on Tuscaloosa to see how the team evolves. The Crimson Tide will present a refreshed roster compared to what fans saw on New Year’s Eve. A total of 34 players from the 2024 squad have departed, either through the NFL draft or the NCAA transfer portal.
Fresh Talent and New Additions
To bolster the team, Alabama has signed 21 new players from high school and junior colleges, forming part of its impressive No. 2 ranked recruiting class. Additionally, seven transfers have been integrated into the roster, each eager to make an immediate impact on the field.
The Quest for a New Quarterback
With the departure of Jalen Milroe, who declared for the 2025 NFL Draft, Alabama is in search of a new starting quarterback. Despite this, the team experienced minimal underclassmen losses, with only three declaring for the draft while 11 draft-eligible players opted to stay for another season. This blend of experienced returnees and fresh talent provides a solid foundation for the upcoming season.
Optimism for the 2025-26 Season
Head coach Kalen DeBoer and his coaching staff have a wealth of talent to work with, both seasoned and emerging. The A-Day Game on April 12 will be the first opportunity for Alabama fans to catch a glimpse of the revamped team and its potential.
