Kalen DeBoer and the Alabama Crimson Tide have landed an elite offensive lineman for next year’s class this week.
As first reported by Hayes Fawcett of On3, Alabama secured a commitment from four-star offensive lineman Kayden Samuelu Teteleopesega.

The domination lineman stands at six-foot-five and has a listed weight of 330 pounds, rated as a top-25 player inside the talent-rich state of California. He is also rated as a top-15 interior offensive lineman in the nation as DeBoer continues to lock down the Golden State.
In the 2025 class, DeBoer and his staff secured three of the top-five players in the state of California in five-star cornerback Dijon Lee — who is expected to play a major role as a freshman — as well as four-stars Chuck McDonald and Jackson Lloyd.
If DeBoer can continue to pull elite talent from the West Coast, it’s going to go a long way towards getting this roster to where it needs to be in order to compete for championships once again.
