Alabama football 2025 season preview, predictions: Kam Dewberry

USA Today9 hours ago
When it comes to instant impact transfer portal additions this season, there are likely few that stick out more for the Alabama Crimson Tide than offensive lineman Kam Dewberry.
Tasked with replacing one of the greatest offensive guards in Alabama football history in Tyler Booker, Dewberry is a player that the Crimson Tide landed in the NCAA transfer portal this offseason, coming to Tuscaloosa after multiple seasons within the SEC at Texas A&M.
With this move across the conference, Dewberry is now expected to step in immediately to fill a major hole along the Crimson Tide's offensive front, bringing experience and proven production in hopes to help replace Booker.
Here is a look at everything you need to know about Alabama's newest offensive lineman, Kam Dewberry.
Kam Dewberry player information
Kam Dewberry career stats
Coming to Alabama from Texas A&M, Dewberry was a multi-year starter in College Station who had made an impact since his freshman season back in 2022. Across the past three seasons, Dewberry has appeared in 32 games at the collegiate level, and was a 2022 Freshman All-America selection.
Kam Dewberry 2024 stats
Last season, Dewberry saw action in 12 games for the Aggies, 10 of which came along the offensive line. A majority of Dewberry's appearances a year ago came at left guard.
Kam Dewberry recruiting ranking
Coming out of high school, Dewberry was considered as the nation's No. 64 overall prospect in the 2022 recruiting class, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings. A four-star recruit, Dewberry was also ranked as the No. 3 interior offensive lineman in the class, as well as the No. 10 overall player in the state of Texas where he attended Atascocita High School.
Prior to arriving at Alabama, Dewberry was ranked by 247Sports as the No. 219 overall player in the transfer portal this past offseason. Dewberry was also considered a three-star prospect in the portal, and committed to Alabama back in Dec. 2024.
Kam Dewberry 2025 season outlook
As we enter fall camp, Dewberry is likely the favorite to takeover as Alabama's starting left guard for the departed Tyler Booker.
However, that starting spot one could argue is not exactly a given entering the fall, as Dewberry will still have to go win the job in camp over others such as Geno VanDeMark. Regardless as to whether that happens or not, it still feels likely the Texas A&M transfer will see a significant amount of action this upcoming season, starting at some point at left guard.
As to when that could happen, do not be surprised if Dewberry is a starter from day one at Alabama, and for the Texas A&M transfer to be a key member of the Crimson Tide's offensive front throughout the fall.

Trio of Gators among college prospects primed to boost pro stock after returning to school

There still remains the entire 2025-26 college basketball campaign before the next NBA draft, but that certainly has not slowed down the national sports media when it comes to making projections, despite the additional fact that the event is 11 months in the future. The latest to offer their prognostications is CBS Sports writer Cameron Salerno, who published his list of 10 college prospects primed to boost pro stock after returning to school for next season. Among those names were a trio of Florida Gators, in junior forwards Thomas Haugh and Alex Condon (who also plays center), as well as recent transfer portal addition, sophomore guard Boogie Fland. Salerno's top-10 list focuses specifically on players who shunned the draft to return to college who project as potential first-round picks next summer. Of course, these predictions are predicated on the assumption that there will be improvements in performance this season. Thomas Haugh "While putting together my first mock draft of the cycle in April, I initially had Haugh as a potential first-round candidate before he decided to return to Florida. That was without even going through the draft process. I'm here to tell you: buy all the stock you can in Florida's star forward," Salerno begins. "Haugh shined during Florida's NCAA Tournament run because he does all the little things. He's a great offensive rebounder, can stretch the floor and makes winning plays. His archetype is one NBA decision-makers covet," he continues. "Don't be surprised if Haugh is a lottery pick next summer. He has a chance to be an All-America candidate if things go well." Alex Condon "Condon made the right decision to return to school after his play during the NCAA Tournament failed to improve his stock," Salerno notes. "Without a guarantee of going in the first round, Condon decided to run it back and solidified the best frontcourt in college basketball in the process. The two-way upside is what has my attention." Boogie Fland "The reigning national champions got a major boost to their repeat hopes by landing Fland. The Arkansas transfer got off to an incredible start in his freshman campaign before a thumb injury derailed his season during SEC play," he offers. "Fland is a dynamic playmaker who can score at all three levels and his move to Florida is a perfect match for both sides. He was trending as a potential lottery pick before the injury."

Braves place third baseman Austin Riley on 10-day injured list with an abdominal strain

ST. LOUIS (AP) — The Atlanta Braves placed two-time All-Star third baseman Austin Riley on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a strained right abdomen. Riley was lifted for a pinch hitter in the fourth inning of the Braves' 6-5 win at St. Louis on Friday night. He said he first noticed discomfort while fielding a Pedro Pagés bunt in the second inning, and it got worse on a Willson Contreras groundout in the third. 'It's a weird spot. I have to make that play all the time and never have any issues, so I don't know really what happened,' Riley said. 'I went through my normal routine of preparing, and I feel like I do a good job of making sure I'm ready.' After Sunday's game in St. Louis, Atlanta will host the All-Star Game on Tuesday and then come out of the All-Star break with a three-game series against the New York Yankees starting Friday. 'Obviously, we got the break coming up,' Riley said. 'I think that that'll be huge, getting some rest there, and hopefully be back in no time.' Riley is hitting .274 this season and entered Saturday ranked third in the NL with 104 hits, behind Trea Turner and Manny Machado. He has hit 14 home runs with 48 RBIs. He was an All-Star in 2022 and 2023. Manager Brian Snitker said he noticed Riley still seemed uncomfortable when the two shared an elevator Saturday morning. He moved Ronald Acuña Jr. down to third in the lineup to beef up the middle of the order with Riley out. Jurickson Profar, who returned from a suspension on July 1, took over the leadoff spot from Acuña, who missed the first two months of the season while recovering from a knee injury. 'We just keep battling through things like that. I mean, we've done it for over a year,' Snitker said. 'I hate it for Austin, too, because he's swinging the bat pretty good.' The Braves recalled infielder Nacho Alvarez Jr. from Triple-A Gwinnett and inserted him at third base for Riley. Alvarez, who appeared in eight games for the Braves last July, was hitting .361 in 11 games with Gwinnett. He was a fifth-round draft pick in 2022. Atlanta also activated left-handed pitcher Joey Wentz after selecting him on waivers from Minnesota. Right-hander Nathan Wiles was optioned to Gwinnett. ___ AP MLB:

Tennessee Titans' JC Latham named to 2025 NFL All-Breakout Team

With training camp starting in 10 days, there are a few things besides position battles for fans to keep an eye on. One area to watch will be how the overhauled offensive line develops as a cohesive unit. It is no secret that the Tennessee Titans made a significant effort to rebuild the line during the offseason and added two new starters in free agency to help protect their young franchise quarterback. Advertisement One player that should benefit from all of the changes is 2024 first-rounder JC Latham, who will be transitioning back to his natural right tackle position. The young lineman flashed in 2024, and the team has high hopes heading into year two. The Titans aren't the only ones who see the potential in Latham; Bucky Brooks of just named Latham to his 2025 All-Breakout Team. OT JC Latham - Tennessee Titans The arrival of No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward as the team's franchise quarterback puts immense pressure on the Titans' offensive line to dominate in the trenches. Latham is poised to meet that standard as a mauler/brawler with heavy hands and knockout power. After moving back to his natural position (right tackle) following a rookie season spent on the blindside, thanks to the addition this offseason of Dan Moore Jr. , the 6-5, 342-pound Latham could dominate opponents as the designated bully on the Titans' frontline. There was a buzz around Latham after OTAs and minicamp. The young offensive lineman appeared to be a different player when he arrived after reshaping his body during the offseason, motivated by the switch back to the right side, where he played throughout his college career. Latham will also benefit from playing next to veteran Kevin Zeitler, and the two should form a tremendous tandem that should help pave the way for more success in 2025. He already looks more comfortable and confident than he did as a rookie, and that bodes well for an offense that had a revolving door at right tackle in 2024.
