Quinton Reese, a three-star linebacker commit who ended his recruitment after meeting with Kalen DeBoer, will
remain with the Alabama Football program. Following the coaching change, Reese was the lone player who wasn’t

signing class—who will be the first without Nick Saban as head coach—have the potential to make or ruin Kalen
DeBoer’s tenure at Alabama.
