2026 Recruiting

We made the top 4 for 4* WR Ethan "Boobie" Feaster. Don't know if our pockets are deep enough as the others but we will see. Announcing on 7/4.

Looks like we are trending for another Cali player. 4* IOL Samuel Utu has very high praise for Bama.

this may explain why Crowell changed his commit date and some believe it could be this summer.
package deal? say isn't so??

Package deals are really not a problem if BOTH players blue chippers...

We have not heard much about QB recruiting in the '26 class. When you sign the #1 QB in the '25 class I can see us not being in on the elite QB's in this class. It looks like we are talking to 3* QB Matt Ponatoski from Cincy.

We can add the #1 LB Xavier Griffith to the list. He has an OV from June 6-8.
Here's the interesting bit, he just decommitted from USC where he's been verbally committed since July 2024.
The staff has been on him heavily and it might just pay off.

Also not considering UGA. I really really like our chances. His teammate is a commit ( coach a former player) Edmonds changed his OV plans just to be here with him . ( yes it’s been going on that long )

And to add this On3 article said he is from Huntsville and grew up a big Bama fan. He said that won't matter but......

More info on Xavier Griffin from Wiltfong. Looking real good as of now.


One former five-star USC commit has become the hottest prospect available for 2026. All after his decommitment.

Now, one historic college football team is the "program to watch" for Xavier Griffin.

Steve Wiltfong of On3 dropped new intel about Griffin's sudden open recruiting process Tuesday. The recruiting insider unveiled the multiple national title winner gaining steam as Griffin's newest leader.

"Alabama is positioned well moving forward," Wiltfong began. "From the relationship with Christian Robinson and the staff and the ties to Tuscaloosa with his grandfather working right down the street from campus, a lot of things make sense regarding Griffin and the Tide."

5* in-state RB Ezavier Crowell announcing commitment on 6/26. We are looking very good on this one. 5* in-state WR Morgan announcing a week later. It could be a very good week.
