Alabama football has added a significant piece to its 2025 recruiting class with the signing of defensive lineman London Simmons. The highly touted prospect, known for his powerful play and disruptive presence on the defensive line, officially committed to the Crimson Tide today during the Early Signing Period.
Simmons, who hails from Atlanta, Georgia, is a standout at his high school and has drawn attention from top programs across the country. His decision to join Alabama solidifies the Tide’s reputation for bringing in top defensive talent. The 6-foot-5, 290-pound lineman is expected to bring both strength and versatility to Alabama’s front seven, offering a mix of pass-rushing ability and run-stopping power.
Alabama’s coaching staff, led by head coach Nick Saban, has been aggressive in securing elite defensive recruits for the 2025 class, and Simmons’ commitment strengthens the Tide’s already impressive haul. The addition of Simmons is seen as a major win in the ongoing arms race in the SEC, where top-tier defensive players are essential to a championship-contending team.
Simmons’ commitment marks a key step in Alabama’s efforts to reload on defense, and he is expected to compete for significant playing time as soon as he arrives on campus.
