Emanuel Ruffin has locked in an official visit with Alabama football.
Ruffin attends Bessemer City High School in Bessemer, Alabama. He is a 2026 recruit, who is currently not ranked by most major recruiting sites. This will change very soon as his offer list continues to grow.
Alabama hosted him earlier this month after offering him in December and shared the Tide were going to play a role in his recruitment.
“They definitely going to play a role in my recruitment,” Ruffin told Touchdown Alabama.
