DeBose had an interview with AL.com in January and opened up about how he felt DeBoer would do a good job in Tuscaloosa.
He also talked about how DeBoer promised him that he will be developed into a top NFL talent should he join Alabama's program.
"I feel like Alabama is going to be just fine. DeBoer just talked about how I could buy into the program and become a good player at Alabama and how he could change and mold me into a player I want to be in the future in the NFL on and off the field."
DeBose initially committed to the Georgia Bulldogs in Jaunuary 2023. But in December, he decided to de-commit from Kirby Smart's program.
