On3's J.D. PicKell described what makes Kalen DeBoer's job with the Alabama Crimson Tide different than Nick Saban's.

Cederian Morgan plays for Benjamin Russell High School in Alexander City. He is the latest five-star recruit to commit to Alabama football.

Griffin’s arrival was preceded by that of four-star tight end Mack Sutter, four-star, No. 2 tailback Ezavier Crowell from Jackson, Ala., and No. 7 offensive tackle Sam Utu, half of the six prospects who committed to Alabama in the last week alone. Seeing that run reminded Finebaum of the kind of work Bama did under DeBoer’s predecessor.
