Alabama flips 4-star Saraland DL Antonio Coleman back from Auburn
Alabama football flipped an Auburn commitment on Saturday. According to Hayes Fawcett of On3 Sports, Antonio Coleman has changed his commitment back to the Crimson Tide.
Coleman shared the news on social media.
“ROLL TIDE ROLL,” he said in a post on the social network formerly known as Twitter.
Auburn had celebrated when Coleman had initially changed his commitment on Dec. 23. The official team account shared a video of defensive line coach Jeremy Garrett displaying an ornament with the phrase “Merry Flipmas” printed on it, and Coleman shared it.
Coleman had initially committed to Alabama before his first flip in December. Now, the Saraland defensive lineman has returned to the Tide’s 2025 class.
The 6-foot-2, 285-pound Coleman stands as a four-star prospect on the 247Sports composite, which has him as the No. 15 defensive lineman in the 2025 recruiting class. He is listed as the No. 122 overall player in the class.
He became the third commitment in Alabama’s 2025 class. Coleman joins four-star running back Anthony Rogers and four-star athlete Miles Johnson in the Crimson Tide’s group.
Early class rankings are nearly worthless at this phase, but Alabama’s 2025 class ranks No. 38 nationally on the 247Sports composite. The class will be new Crimson Tide head coach Kalen DeBoer’s first full class in Tuscaloosa.
