Xavier Tiller is feeling good about Alabama ahead of a May official visit. 

Tiller is a 2026 four-star tight end out of Langston Hughes High School in Georgia. He is considering Alabama, Auburn, Florida Miami and others are de-committing from Texas A&M. 

The Crimson Tide will host him for an official visit in May. Alabama’s tight end coach Bryan Ellis is leading Alabama’s push for Tiller. 

“It is Alabama,” Tiller said. “What can you not like about Alabama? Me and coach Ellis, we got a great bond. I am one of his top guys out there. I appreciate that.”

The way the Tide use their tight ends also stands out to Tiller.

“I like how they use the tight ends,” Tiller told Touchdown Alabama. I am a tight end that wants the ball, and they going to get the tight ends the ball.

The four-star wants to be committed by the start of his senior season. 

At 6-foot-5 and 219 pounds, Tiller is a long and athletic weapon at tight end. He is difficult to bring down after the catch and can make some difficult contested catches.
