Georgia 4-Star LB puts Alabama in Final 4

Brayden Rouse is now considering four schools. 

Rouse is a 2026 four-star linebacker out of Kell High School in Marietta, Georgia. He is now considering Alabama, Michigan, Tennessee and Texas. Each school will get him on campus for an official visit during the summer. Alabama will be first up on the weekend of May 30. 

The Crimson Tide hosted him during the spring. 

“I honestly love how practice went,” Rouse told Touchdown Alabama. “It’s definitely the type of environment that I want to be a part of, and the competition level is second to none. That is something that stood out to me. The standard they have at Alabama is something that is extremely high value.”

The game of football is constantly evolving and the use of athletic linebackers continues to be a major part of the evolution. Rouse is the exact linebacker type many college coaches are drooling over at the moment with his 6-foot-3, 208-pound frame. He can play in space, drop back in coverage, get after the quarterback rushing from the edge and make plays on the ball on offense and defense. 

Rouse finished his 2024 season with 105 tackles, 14 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks and five pass breakups. He also added 25 catches for 378 yards and eight touchdowns.
