Where Alabama’s 2025 recruiting class stands after Jaime Ffrench commit

The 2024 Alabama football recruiting class hasn’t even started games in its players’ senior high school seasons. However, Nick Saban and his staff are already at work putting pieces together in the 2025 class.

On Saturday, the Crimson Tide got a commitment from its second five-star wide receiver in the class, Jaime Ffrench. That made Alabama’s fifth verbal commit of the 2025 group.

Here’s what to know about each member of the class, which ranks second nationally according to 247Sports’ composite ratings, trailing only Georgia.

Ryan Williams

Williams was the first player in the class to commit, way back in October. The in-state product plays at Saraland, where he caught 88 passes for 1,641 yards and 24 touchdowns last season as a sophomore according to Maxpreps.

He also contributed to the run game, with 700 yards on 57 carries with 15 touchdowns. Williams is listed as the No. 1 receiver and No. 4 player nationally according to the 247Sports composite.

Williams stands six feet tall and weighs in at 165 pounds.

Jaime Ffrench

Ffrench joined Williams as receivers in the class on Saturday. He plays high school football at Mandarin in Jacksonville, Fla.

He’s a bit taller and bigger than Williams at six-foot-one and 185 pounds. Ffrench caught 44 passes for 671 yards and five touchdowns last season.

FFrench ranks as the No. 4 wide receiver in the class and No. 31 player nationally according to the 247 composite.

Anthony Rogers

In addition to the top wideout in Williams, Alabama also locked down a commitment from Rogers, the No. 1 running back in the class. The five-foot-eight, 185-pound running back will play at IMG Academy in Florida this season.

For his freshman and sophomore campaigns, Rogers attended Pike Road in Alabama, where he helped lead the Patriots to a state title in 2021, rushing for 1,139 yards and 18 touchdowns as a freshman according to Maxpreps.

Rogers followed that up with an even better season in 2022 going for 1,629 yards and 22 touchdowns on 187 carries. He chose the Crimson Tide over a top five that included Georgia, Florida, Auburn and Oregon.

Mason Short

Short gives the Crimson Tide a large interior offensive line presence in the class. He ranks as the No. 5 IOL in his class according to the 247 composite.

The Evans (Ga.) star lists himself at 290 pounds and six-foot-six in his Twitter bio. He chose the Tide over offers from Georgia, Tennessee, Florida and Florida State among others.

Dontrell Glover

In addition to addressing the interior, Saban and company got a commitment from Glover, an offensive tackle for the 2025 class. The Crimson Tide went into Georgia again to get Glover, who attends Langston Hughes in Fairburn.

He and Short both made Maxpreps’s all-American teams last season. Glover is listed at six-foot-three and 290 pounds.
