Samson Okunlola has locked in an official visit to the University of Alabama.
Okunlola will officially visit the Crimson Tide this weekend. The Thayer Academy (MA) product is rated as a five-star recruit, and he is one of the top tackle prospects in the 2023 recruiting class. The five-star recruit included Alabama in his top nine on June 2 after Alabama offered him in May.
Okunlola’s offer came from Nick Saban during a great conversation.
“It was really great talking with him,” Okunlola told Touchdown Alabama. “He was telling me what he likes about my game and who I am as a person. We talked about how Alabama prepares you for life after football. I feel he is a great coach. He produces really well. He helps his players out, and he really cares for them. You go there to win National Championships. They are known for winning.”

Saban told the 6-foot-5, 295-pounder he is a fan of his footwork, athleticism and the way he finishes. Thayer Academy used the new Alabama target on both sides of the ball during the 2021 football season.
