Spring football camp is underway down in Alabama, and Crimson Tide head coach Kalen DeBoer is beginning to take stock of what his program will look like as he prepares for his third season at the helm in Tuscaloosa.
The Tide is losing a bunch of production on both sides of the ball from last year’s squad, but DeBoer and his staff hit the portal hard in order to bring in what figures to be impact players at key positions in 2026.
One of Alabama’s biggest portal additions was hard-hitting linebacker Caleb Woodson from Virginia Tech. Touchdown Alabama’s Stephen Smith recently reported that the former Hokie has already caught DeBoer’s eye.
“Caleb has come in, and you can see that he has been on the football field,” DeBoer said. “He has taken a lot of snaps. He is out there, and the schemes are not too fast for him. He has picked those up, and it allows him to go punch the ball out and cause chaos. He is being the baller that we expected to get when we brought him in.”

Woodson was a productive 3-year player at Virginia Tech, racking up 152 total tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss, and a pair of sacks in his time as a Hokie. The Tide suffered a ton of turnover in their linebacker room during the offseason, and Woodson was brought on to be an immediate contributor at that position.
If these early returns are any indicator, DeBoer and company may have found more than just a rotational linebacker in Woodson.
