With 19 commits and including four composite five-stars, Alabama’s 2026 recruiting class ranks No. 5 in the country, but Kalen DeBoer isn’t done yet. The second-year head coach of the Crimson Tide is after another in-state five-star target, and it seems that all of Alabama is helping in his recruiting efforts.
Tank Jones is the No. 16 player in the country according to 247Sports Composite Rankings, and a priority target for DeBoer and his staff, who visited Tuscaloosa on June 20. The 6-foot-4, 240-pound edge rusher from Mobile, Alabama, has yet to set a commitment date, but that hasn’t stopped service workers in his hometown from trying to sway him towards the Tide.
