‘Everything is going to work out, so just stay excited’

Alabama football has experienced lots of changes in the past few weeks, from Nick Saban’s retirement to Kalen DeBoer’s hiring and a slew of players leaving and joining the Crimson Tide via the transfer portal.

Amid the changes, however, All-SEC offensive guard Tyler Booker was among the most outspoken returning members of the program. Shortly after Saban retired, Booker posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, that he was excited to “carrying on the culture, the traditions and the standard that has made Alabama, Alabama!”

Booker, appearing on “The Next Round” on Monday morning, added only one school reached out to him after Saban retired.

That’s what I’m just preaching to everybody. That’s what we really told each other, and that’s why it was so easy for me to stay.
