- Kalen DeBoer reveals Alabama football fall camp start date. What to know
ATLANTA — For Kalen DeBoer , SEC media days is the kickoff for Alabama football's hopes and dreams in 2025. And while he addressed the Crimson Tide's aspirations in his second season with the program, DeBoer looked ahead. Not to any game, but to what he and his team would be doing two weeks from July 16.
"Excited about two weeks from today," DeBoer said. "At this very moment, they will be on the football field practicing, practice 1. It's come on fast."
According to DeBoer, Alabama football will start fall camp July 30 ahead of its Aug. 30 season opener at Florida State . The Crimson Tide's opener is the program's first on the road since the 2020 season against Missouri .
"The work is what we're focused on right now," DeBoer said. "The main thing, keeping it that. I love the mindset. Doesn't guarantee you anything, but it gives you a great chance."
DeBoer is not one to get too far ahead of himself. Nor is Alabama as a whole. The Crimson Tide is still in the midst of summer workouts, each of which, DeBoer said, his players are taking advantage of.
"Continuity is a huge piece of kind of what Year 2 is all about right now. That trickles down to your players. The leadership from the staff is there, but really the culture that we want to try and exude, try and have, it comes to life through our players. And they are making it happen. And as we speak right now, they are on the field on a nice, warm morning in Tuscaloosa getting after it."
Alabama kicks off 2025 against Florida State at 2:30 p.m. CT Aug. 30.
