Top Alabama junior commits to out-of-state national power

The anchor of Class 7A state champion Thompson’s defensive line has committed to Oregon.

Rising junior Cam Pritchett committed to the Ducks after a weekend visit to Oregon. He chose them over Tennessee, Auburn, Florida State, Clemson and a number of high-profile colleges.

On3 reported the news.

The 6-foot-3, 231-pound EDGE reportedly declined a $750,000 offer this spring to leave Thompson and finish his high school career in another state.

Pritchett made 78 tackles in 2024 for Thompson, including 15 for a loss. He also had 6.5 sacks and 6 QB Hurries. In the Class 7A championship game against Central-Phenix City, Pritchett totaled seven tackles (two solo), two tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks in the victory.

He is the No. 5 prospect in Alabama’s Class of 2027, according to the 247 composite rankings. He is the third member of the top 10 to commit, joining No. 1 Jabarrius Garror of Vigor (Alabama) and No. 6 Jaylen Scott of Williamson (Florida State).

Oregon’s Dan Lanning also signed the top 2025 recruit out of Alabama, Parker DB Na’eem Offord.
