“I believe Alabama will be just fine,” DeBose told AL.com in January, following Nick Saban’s departure and DeBoer’s hiring. “(DeBoer) just talked about how I could buy into the program and become a good player at Alabama and how he could change and mold me into the player I want to be in the future in the NFL on and off the field.” According to the 247Sports composite rankings, Debose is the No. 8 offensive tackle in the 2025 class and the No. 89 overall athlete. He is ranked as the No. 8 player in Alabama.
The 6-foot-5, 300-pound DeBose is Alabama’s third tackle commitment in his class, following fellow four-star Jackson Lloyd and Central-Phenix City’s Mal Waldrep. Four-star IOL Michael Carroll has also committed for the 2025 class. “Flashes some jarring punch power and drive-blocking conviction that will finish targets to the ground,” 247Sports scouting analyst Gabe Brooks said about DeBose. “Size and functional strength frequently overwhelm high school opponents. Hand placement is not a weakness, however they can get stickier when engaged. Can improve general body control, but shows promising kick-slide mobility. Depending on athletic development and system, he may eventually fit into the right tackle or guard role.
DeBose became Alabama’s 18th commitment in the 2025 class, DeBoer’s first full cycle as the Tide’s head coach. UA’s group is ranked No. 2 nationally on the 247 composite after the commit, with just Ohio State ahead.
