Alabama football trending for 2026 4-star CB who is committing soon
With a commitment scheduled for next week, Alabama football is trending for one of the nation’s top CB prospects in the 2026 recruiting cycle.
Alabama football is trending for an elite CB prospect in the 2026 recruiting cycle who has a commitment scheduled for next Wednesday, February 19th.
4-star CB Jorden Edmonds from Sprayberry High School in Marietta, Georgia is trending toward the Crimson Tide with a little over a week to go until he makes his announcement.
The 6-foot-3, 175 pound rising high school senior is ranked as the 106th best prospect and 10th best CB in the 247Composite rankings.
It’s an all-SEC affair for the blue-chip corner. Along with Alabama, his final five consists of Georgia, Florida, Oklahoma, and Tennessee.
Alabama extended an offer to Edmonds in March of last year and they are currently trending for his commitment. The On3 RPM (recruiting prediction machine) gives Alabama a 97.8% chance of landing his commitment.
247’s Brett Greenberg put in a crystal ball prediction in Alabama’s favor on Monday.
Alabama’s 2026 recruiting class is heating up
As things currently stand, Alabama only has a single commitment in the 2026 class. 4-star CB Zyan Gibson from Gadsden, AL committed to the Crimson Tide in December. Early commitments tend to mean very little in today’s recruiting climate, but Gibson seems pretty solid at the moment.
Alabama has one of the top defensive back coaches in the country in Maurice Linguist and he helped the Tide sign an outstanding secondary class a year ago. Expect the Crimson Tide to do that again in 2026.
Alabama is also in the Top 5 for another recruit who is expected to announce his college choice this month. 3-star OL Bear McWhorter from White, GA is scheduled to announce his commitment on February 28th and has Alabama in the final group with Michigan, South Carolina, Clemson, and Florida.
There’s no crystal ball picks in for McWhorter, but he was named after legendary Alabama coach Bear Bryant. That seems like good news for the Crimson Tide.
Elite TE Kaiden Prothro also recently announced Alabama as one of the final five schools in contention for his services.
5-star WR Tristen Keys recently locked in an official visit with the Crimson Tide.
We are technically in a “dead period” for recruiting, but a lot of work has gone in and Alabama should start seeing a flurry of commitments in the coming months as the 2026 class begins to take shape.
