Alabama’s staff put together another busy week on the recruiting trail, taking visits to many of the top prospects in next year’s class and extending offers to top talents in 2027 and beyond. As of now, the Tide holds just a single commitment for the 2026 class, cornerback Zyan Gibson, but has made significant progress with several premier prospects.

Crimson Tide head coach Kalen DeBoer and offensive coordinator Nick Sheridan made the trip to Tennessee this week to visit with Nashville native Jared Curtis, the top ranked signal caller in the state and No. 2 overall in the nation.

The 6-foot-4, 225 lb. signal caller is a 5-Star prospect and currently holds offers from over 40 division one programs. He is a precision passer with the ability to extend plays with his legs, though he thrives within the pocket.

DeBoer also paid a visit to Nixa, Missouri to spend some time with top ranked offensive tackle Jackson Cantwell. The 6-foot-7, 300 lb. 5-Star prospect took to social media to share his reaction.

New Alabama linebackers coach Chuck Morrell, who was promoted in early January, was on the recruiting trail as well this week with DeBoer, taking a visit to Cleveland, Ohio for a visit with 4-Star linebacker prospect Cincere Johnson. The No. 3 ranked player in the state, Johnson currently holds offers from over twenty power four programs.

Elbert Hill, a fellow 4-Star prospect in the 2026 class, also received a visit this week from coach DeBoer and took to social media to share a photo. Hill is not only No. 1 ranked player in the state of Ohio, but is the No. 1 ranked cornerback in the nation.

DeBoer, alongside general manager Courtney Morgan and defensive backs coach Mo Linguist, also took a visit to to Forney, Texas to meet with 4-Star running back Javion Osborne.

2026 3-Star interior offensive lineman Bear McWhorter also received a visit from the Tide’s head coach this week, and took to social media to share his reaction.

Offensive line coach Chris Kapilovic was also active this week, making trips around the southeast to see many top prospects.

Desmond Green, 3-Star interior offensive lineman from South Carolina, hosted the coach in his own home on Tuesday, sharing a photo on social media.

Fellow interior offensive line prospect, 4-Star Zykie Helton, also hosted Kapilovic this week, and like Green, took to social media to share the news.
