Business is about to be booming in Tuscaloosa. Kalen DeBoer and his staff have Alabama in prime position to land some of the top prospects in the country for the 2026 recruiting class.
The Crimson Tide’s massive official visit schedule begins this weekend with a plethora of elite prospects making their way to the Capstone. Right now, Alabama only has five commitments for 2026. This time last year, they only had four heading into the summer. Just like last year, a big summer is expected, and it’s only a matter of time before the Tide goes on a big recruiting run.
Predictions have been rolling in for Alabama to acquire elite prospects. They are vying for a significant number of the nation’s most promising uncommitted prospects, and some have already made commitments elsewhere. In the upcoming weeks, Alabama is expected to add three new students to its cohort, in addition to a bold prediction.
Three or four additional 5-star recruits may be included in Alabama’s 2026 class in the near future. Cederian Morgan (Alexander City, AL)
Cederian Morgan will be in Tuscaloosa for an official visit during the weekend of June 20th. The 5-star in-state wide receiver has designated July 2nd as his commitment date. Alabama has the lead for Morgan going into official visit season and recently picked up a prediction to land him.
Most have seen this as a two-horse race between the in-state schools, but along with Alabama and Auburn, Morgan has visits set up with Georgia and Florida.
He took an official earlier in May to Colorado. Morgan is part of Kalen DeBoer’s big in-state push for the 2026 cycle. RB Ezavier Crowell (Jackson, AL) The 5-star RB reclassified into the 2026 class, and most pundits have believed Alabama was the team to beat from the get-go.
Like Morgan, the Crimson Tide recently picked up a prediction to land Crowell. Crowell will be in Tuscaloosa the same weekend as Morgan. They will also be joined by 5-star Edge Anthony “Tank” Jones. Between them, they make up the top three prospects in the state of Alabama for 2026. According to the On3 RPM, Alabama leads for all three.
Crowell is scheduled to announce his decision on June 26, which is only a few days following his official visit to the Crimson Tide.
Alabama is the overwhelming favorite to secure the talented running back, although circumstances may evolve during his forthcoming visits.
LB Xavier Griffin (Gainesville, GA)
Ever since he withdrew from USC, Alabama has been pursuing 5-star linebacker Xavier Griffin. On Wednesday, the Crimson Tide acquired a prediction from On3’s Steve Wiltfong to acquire Griffin.
Griffin has been likened to Jihaad Campbell, a former Alabama linebacker who was recently selected by the Philadelphia Eagles in the first round of the NFL Draft.
Griffin has canceled a planned visit to Georgia, but he is scheduled to be in Columbus for an official visit this weekend. On the weekend of June 6th, he is scheduled to visit Alabama. I anticipate that this will be his final visit.
