Alabama football coach Kalen DeBoer speaks at annual A-Day event

Alabama football is hosting its annual A-Day event today inside Bryant-Denny Stadium.

It’s a steep departure from years past, as Crimson Tide players will gather to practice in front of fans instead of the actual scrimmage those fans have been accustomed to for years.

The A-Day practice is set to begin at 12 p.m. CT. The event will not be televised or broadcast on radio, another noticeable change from years past.

What hasn’t changed is the pregame rituals and traditions of A-Day. Before Saturday’s final practice of the spring, Alabama held its annual Walk of Fame ceremony at Denny Chimes. Second-year coach Kalen DeBoer was joined by 2024 team captains Tyler Booker, Deontae Lawson, Jalen Milroe and Malachi Moore.

DeBoer said:

“Your captains are always important, but coming here and just everything from start to finish, the way they embraced me and our staff, the way they continue to uphold the standard and everything that they did with Alabama football they knew what it was supposed to look like. They led by example, first and foremost. They took care of their business.”

Here’s the full video of what DeBoer said to those gathered at Denny Chimes for Saturday’s Walk of Fame ceremony event.
