Across the first three games of the 2024 season, what are some thoughts you might have about Kalen DeBoer and the Alabama Crimson Tide based on what you have seen so far?

After three weeks, the Crimson Tide will enter their bye week undefeated at 3-0 overall coming off what was likely their most impressive win just this past Saturday when they defeated the Wisconsin Badgers on the road, 42-10. That result combined with a pair of home wins over Western Kentucky and South Florida by scores of 63-0 and 42-16, respectively, to compose Alabama’s resume for the year so far.

So, which players have impressed you most? Are there still areas of concern for the Crimson Tide going into Week 5?

Let’s take a look at answering those questions as we provide five takeaways from Alabama’s first three games of the 2024 season.

The highest-rated recruit in Alabama’s 2024 class, Williams came to Tuscaloosa as a five-star wide receiver, and was likely expected to be a prominent contributor as a true freshman. Early on, the freshman has simply been a star for the Alabama offense across three games as well, leading the Crimson Tide offense with 10 receptions for 285 yards and four touchdowns, as well as averaging 28.5 YPC.

2. Multiple transfers have made an impact
