2026 Recruiting

[TheRealPokeChop]

We also made a very good impression on 4* WR Kenny Darby who is currently a LSU commit (that's a familiar Alabama football name). Will decide between them and Bama on 7/4.

Alabama has made an elite 2026 WR rethink his commitment to an SEC rival

Any relation to Ken darby?

I was hoping to hear this regarding 4* OL Malakai Lee. It was reported it was between Bama and UGA and this makes me feel more confident in getting his commitment.

And I think that is because 5* S Jireh Edwards is trending to Bama and we have a great shot at 5* S Jett Washington also.

Justice Fitzpatrick, Minkah's lil bro, committed to UGA today. Wanted him but we are loaded at CB and we have the #1 and # 6 CB committed and and we have other very good ones we have a good shot at.

Hate to hear that!

If he is anything like Minkah, he will be an awesome player at the CFB level...

It's been exciting to see we are in on so many talented recruits.

I know you can't recruit without some NIL $ pledges, but do some of you experts see this as our CKD and staff really getting their feet firmly on the ground for year 2 in T-town???
