Kalen DeBoer's message at SEC Media Days was positive, but it is clear he knows the standard he must hit at Alabama.

For DeBoer, media days marks the unofficial start of Year 2 in Tuscaloosa after a 9-4 campaign a year ago following Nick Saban's retirement. It's also his first chance to talk about what he's most looking forward heading into fall camp after a promising spring, position battles, what he and the program hope to improve on, and more.

DeBoer finished by saying all three have the potential to do big things in the Alabama offense. “I think it a lot of it has to do with what is around them, as well,” DeBoer said. Nick Kelly is an Alabama beat writer for AL.com and the Alabama Media Group. Follow him on X and Instagram.
