The 2026 recruiting cycle is far from over, but it feels like Kalen DeBoer, Courtney Morgan, and the Alabama staff are getting close to putting the finishing touches on their group. There are still a few obvious major targets on the board, but on Friday, the Tide added a surprising 21st commit by flipping three-star offensive tackle Bear Fretwell from his commitment to Georgia Tech.
Fretwell did not take an official visit to Alabama this spring and only received an offer from the Tide on July 5, 2025, less than a month after his commitment to Georgia Tech.
