Kalen DeBoer adds wide receiver to 2025 Alabama Football recruiting class on A Day

Kalen DeBoer has added another wide receiver to his 2025 signing class in New Jersey Wide Receiver Lotzeir Brooks. Brooks is currently a three-star wide receiver ranked as the 66th receiver in the class and the 437th-ranked player overall. He chose Alabama over Tennessee and Kentucky among other schools.

While his rankings won't jump off the page his speed will as Brooks' has a sprint speed of 22.1 MPH. In three seasons of High School Football Brooks has 3,355 yards receiving and 55 touchdowns.

The 5'10 Wide receiver will provide a deep threat from the minute he steps on campus. The area Kalen DeBoer and JaMarcus Shephard will be most excited about is his ability after the catch. His speed makes him dangerous in the open field.

Brooks becomes the ninth player to commit to Kalen DeBoer joining Alabama's eighth-ranked recruiting class per 247Sports. He'll join to Alabama wide receiver Derick Smith as the second receiver to commit to the class. The Tide are still in play for several top receivers in five-star Caleb Cunningham and four-star Quanell Farrakhan Jr who's crystal balled to Alabama.

When looking at the rankings it's important to remember that a lot will change before they are final and that JaMarcus Shephard values this receiver higher than a recruiting site. JaMarcus Shephard has sent three-star and two-star receivers to the NFL in the past and will continue to do so.
