2025 OT reveals reason for picking Alabama football over USC, Ohio State.
Kalen DeBoer has been the head coach of the Alabama football team for about five months now, and he is doing a great job with recruiting so far.
DeBoer hasn’t had the chance to show what his team’s on-field product will look like, but he is signing a lot of talented players for the future. That’s a good sign of what’s to come for the Crimson Tide. One of Alabama’s latest pickups is four-star offensive tackle Jackson Lloyd.
Alabama football has landed a few top offensive linemen recently, and Jackson Lloyd is one of them. As one of the top OTs in the entire country, Lloyd had a lot of attractive offers. He chose the Crimson Tide because of their strong desire to be the best.
“What stood out most at Alabama was their winning culture and doing everything to be the best,” Lloyd said, according to an article from 247 Sports.
Lloyd was recruited by Kalen DeBoer before he became the head coach of Alabama. He was talking to Lloyd while he was with Washington, and when the mix of coach and program came together, it made the decision easier for the four-star prospect.
At Washington, I loved them,” Lloyd said. “I went to go check out when they played Oregon and just loved how they coached. And then, obviously, like the history of Alabama. Definitely like the best of both worlds.”
Alabama has been one of the best programs in college football for a long time, and they ruled the last 15 or so years with Nick Saban leading the way. It’s a premier program, and Lloyd thinks that it is the best of the best, and he certainly doesn’t mind the new coaching staff.
