Alabama football went into the 2026 recruiting cycle with plans to sign another loaded class.
The Crimson Tide look to be on pace to achieve this goal with a different look to their class in comparison to the first official recruiting class of the Kalen DeBoer era. Alabama now has a good group of homegrown talent and still are recruiting multiple in-state recruits, who are uncommitted.
Alabama football returned to prominence under Nick Saban and enjoyed one of the best dynasty runs college football had ever seen under the legendary coach. The Tide recruited nationally during this run, but those teams were anchored by in-state talent.
