The idea that the University of Alabama could finish with the No. 1 recruiting class for 2025 without Nick Saban as head coach is starting to become more of a reality.
Alabama had two players to de-commit, but it bounced back with two 5-star verbal commitments. The latest one came Sunday in offensive lineman, Ty Haywood. He was one of the best tackle prospects in the nation at 6’5″ and 285 pounds from Ryan High School in Denton, Texas. Haywood brings exceptional power, strength, footwork, and anchoring abilities versus edge rushers.

By my count that’s about five 5-stars…
And we know he can coach (beat TX and made it to Championship with less talent)
