The Alabama Crimson Tide football coaches kicked off summer camps this week in Tuscaloosa. Head coach Kalen DeBoer is hosting camp sessions on Thursday and Friday and then transitioning into a major recruiting weekend as the Crimson Tide is hosting a dozen official visitors and several unofficial visitors as well.

It's been roughly a month and a half since the Crimson Tide added linebacker Jaedon Harmon to the Class of 2025 but June should be the start of a big month for Alabama on the recruiting trail. Tuscaloosa will be busy for the next four weekends as prospects from the upcoming class are checking out the Capstone.

The Crimson Tide is hosting three Class of 2025 prospects that are already committed to Alabama for official visits this weekend.

• Derick Smith is a 4-star wide receiver out of Southside Selma High School who also excels in the defensive backfield.
