Kalen DeBoer just got the better of Kirby Smart yet again. Along with being 2-0 on the field against the Georgia head coach, DeBoer has also led Alabama to some significant wins over the Bulldogs on the recruiting trail.
That includes two of the top recruits in the state of Georgia during the 2026 cycle, 5-stars Xavier Griffin and Jorden Edmonds. While Corey Howard isn't on the same level of those two, he was still a priority for both the Bulldogs and the Crimson Tide in this cycle. On Sunday, following a visit to Tuscaloosa over the weekend, Howard flipped his commitment to Alabama.
