Derek Zammit snagged an offer from Alabama football earlier this week and is excited to visit the Crimson Tide in the future.
Zammit is a 2026 four-star quarterback out of DePaul Catholic High School in New Jersey. He holds previous offers from Kansas State, Syracuse, Tulane and others.
His offer from the Crimson Tide is one he is grateful to have earned.
“Means a lot that they have enough confidence in me to offer, obviously coming from a place like that,” Zammit said.
Alabama’s quarterbacks coach Nick Sheridan has been working to build a relationship with Zammit.
The rest of the Tide’s coaching staff should have an opportunity to meet him in person this spring.
“I have been talking with Coach Sheridan for a while, and we’ve started to develop a good relationship,” Zammit told Touchdown Alabama. “Looking forward to hopefully meeting the rest of the coaches in the spring.”
The success Alabama has enjoyed for more than a decade is not lost on Zammit. It is one of many reasons he is pump to visit Tuscaloosa.
“It is obviously a powerhouse and a great place,” said Zammit. “I’m excited to get down.”
The 6-foot, 190-pounder finished his junior season with 2,582 passing yards, 35 passing touchdowns, 560 rushing yards and six touchdowns. He flashed an ability to throw the football on the run from different angles along with comfort in the pocket to work down his reads.
Alabama currently does not have a 2026 quarterback commit, but it is showing it wants to add at least one signal-caller to its 2026 class.
