In 45 days, Kalen DeBoer will usher in a new era of Alabama Crimson Tide football, replacing the legendary Nick Saban as head coach in Tuscaloosa.
Coach DeBoer and the Crimson Tide will take on the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers on Aug. 31 to kick off the 2024 college football season inside Bryant-Denny Stadium.
At Roll Tide Wire, we will count down the days until Alabama football takes the field.
With 44 days remaining, we look at rising junior defensive lineman Damon Payne Jr. who wears No. 44 for the Crimson Tide.
Payne has appeared in 19 total games for Alabama over the past two seasons and has accumulated 16 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, and 0.5 sacks.
The Belleville, Michigan native is expected to play a major role in the defensive line rotation in 2024.
