The early signing period is still nearly four months away, and verbal commitments aren't going to keep teams from pushing for flips.
Kalen DeBoer and Alabama have built an impressive class of 21 commitments, but they're hoping they aren't done yet. DeBoer and his staff have proven adept at flipping prospects during their two cycles in Tuscaloosa.
Examples would include Keelon Russell flipping from SMU and Derek Meadows from LSU in the 2025 cycle. In the 2026 class, DeBoer and the Tide flipped Jett Thomalla from Iowa State, Rihyael Kelley from Rutgers, and Javari Barnett from Illinois.
