Kalen DeBoer has said throughout the spring months that Alabama's quarterback battle has a long way to go, but we know there is a favorite in Tuscaloosa.

Kalen DeBoer is excited about what wide receiver Ryan Coleman-Williams can do for the Alabama Crimson Tide in 2026.

Beyond the Saturday highlights, Ryan Williams is transforming behind the scenes. Coach DeBoer highlights the young star’s relentless summer work ethic and emerging leadership within Alabama’s high-pressure culture.

Kalen DeBoer knows that the annual Iron Bowl game between the Alabama Crimson Tide and Auburn Tigers is a big deal. New Auburn head coach Alex Golesh apparently also understands that as well.
