TUSCALOOSA, AL — July 3, 2025 — In a recruiting stretch that’s making waves across college football, the Alabama Crimson Tide are putting together what experts are calling one of the greatest recruiting runs in recent years. With five-star prospects pouring in and high-priority targets locking in commitments at record speed, Alabama is once again reminding the nation why it remains a gold standard in the sport.
What’s even more jaw-dropping is the style and dominance of this surge — one that closely mirrors the dynasty days of Nick Saban’s prime. Multiple analysts have remarked that it feels like Saban himself is back at the helm, orchestrating a vintage Alabama haul that combines elite speed, power, and intelligence across every position group.
“Quite frankly, this is one of the great recruiting runs we’ve seen in some years,” said one SEC analyst. “It almost feels like Nick Saban is running the ship again. This is vintage Alabama recruiting.”
A Class Built for Championships
In just the past few weeks, Alabama has secured commitments from:
- Two five-star defensive linemen ranked in the top 10 nationally
- A dual-threat quarterback considered the No. 2 QB in the 2025 class
- The top linebacker out of Texas, who chose the Tide over Georgia and Ohio State
- A speedster wide receiver who ran a verified 4.35 40-yard dash
This puts Alabama in prime position to land the No. 1 overall recruiting class in 2025 — a return to form that many feared was slipping away in the new NIL era.
Coaching Staff on Fire
First-year head coach Kalen DeBoer, while different in personality from Saban, has leaned into Alabama’s historical dominance and built a recruiting staff that understands both legacy and innovation. He’s kept strong relationships with key high school programs and adapted seamlessly to NIL dynamics — proving the Tide can still dominate both tradition and modern expectations.
The Bottom Line
Alabama isn’t just back — they never left. With this 2025 class shaping up to be one of the deepest and most talented in program history, the Tide are rolling once more, and the rest of college football is officially on notice.
Vintage Alabama? You better believe it.
