Alabama football has caught fire on the recruiting trail lately. Thursday alone, the Crimson Tide pulled in commitments from two blue-chip prospects, four-star running back EJ Crowell and four-star tight end Mack Sutter.

But even before that, UA had been collecting new talent. So far this month, Kalen DeBoer and company have reeled in commitments from 247Sports composite four-star offensive tackle Sam Utu, four-star quarterback Jett Thomalla, three-star defensive lineman JJ Finch, three-star safety Rihyael Kelly and three-star running back Javari Barnett, plus three-star linebacker Zay Hall, who committed Friday.

Overall, Alabama has 13 commitments in the 2026 class. The Tide’s group is led by five-star Jorden Edmonds, a cornerback who plays his high school football at Sprawberry in Georgia.

The recent run of success has caused the Crimson Tide to leap up team rankings boards for the 2026 class. As the dust settles but DeBoer and company continue recruiting, here’s where UA currently stands with the major ranking services, as of Friday evening.

247 Sports composite– 11th

Ahead of the two commitments on Thursday, Alabama sat 35th nationally in the composite rankings. Following the pledges, UA jumped all the way up to 11th.

The Crimson Tide’s group sat fourth among SEC schools. Texas A&M was third nationally, followed by No. 4 Georgia, and Texas was one spot ahead of Alabama, at No. 10.

Southern Cal leads the 247 rankings. Notre Dame sits at No. 2, with Ohio State rounding out the top five.

Miami checked in at No. 6, followed by Clemson and Penn State. Florida State was the only other school with a class ranked ahead of Alabama’s, sitting at No. 9.

In terms of average recruit quality, Alabama was ranked fourth by the 247 composite. LSU was No. 1 in that metric, with Oregon and Ohio State second and third respectively.

Rivals/ On3– 9th

Due to a recent merger, Rivals and On3 have combined their recruiting ranking systems. The metrics there are kinder to Alabama than the 247Sports rankings, placing the Crimson Tide No. 9 nationally for the 2026 class.

Notre Dame was No. 2 in the On3/Rivals rankings, with Texas A&M third. Georgia checked in fourth, with Ohio State at No. 5.

LSU was sixth, the only other SEC school ahead of Alabama. Miami (seventh) and Clemson (eighth) were also ahead of UA.

Oregon rounded out the top 10. Other SEC schools in the top 25 classes included Texas (No. 13), Florida (No. 14), Tennessee (No. 15), South Carolina (No. 17), Oklahoma (No. 22) and Ole Miss (No. 25).
