Mae Jemison Elite 4-Star OL super close with Alabama

Samuel Bailey is a wanted man on the recruiting trail as one of the best offensive lineman prospects in the country.

Bailey is a 2028 four-star offensive lineman prospect out of Mae Jemison High School in Huntsville, Alabama. He holds offers from some of the top programs in the country including Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State and others. A long list of schools are pushing hard for Bailey at the moment.

The four-star told Touchdown Alabama some of the teams that are really pushing for him after Mae Jemison beat Columbia on Thursday night.

“I feel like Florida, LSU, Oklahoma, Clemson, Ohio State,” Bailey said. “I definitely feel like those and Auburn and Alabama too, Oh my God.”

Bailey describes his relationship with Alabama as super close and tight. He has previously spoken highly of the Alabama program, and he continues to do so so

“I love Alabama,” Bailey previously told Touchdown Alabama. “I’m so for real, that’s like my hometown team, just being here. That’s just crazy to me.”

Touchdown Alabama has seen Bailey several times live in action, and he has impressed with his agility and hand placement while blocking for the Jaguars. He also flashed some nastiness and physicality.

The 6-foot-6, 295-pounder is projected to be one of the most sought-after offensive linemen in next year’s class.
