2024 DL Recruit Flips From Alabama…Again
The tumultuous recruitment of in-state defensive lineman Antonio Coleman took another turn late Saturday evening.
Coleman originally committed to Alabama on Sept. 11, 2023. He remained committed to the Crimson Tide through the remainder of the season before de-committing and flipping his commitment to Auburn on Dec. 22.
Auburn's 2025 recruiting class took a hit in March when Coleman flipped back to the Crimson Tide from the Tigers.
His recruitment has, once again, taken a strange turn. According to Hayes Fawcett of On3, Coleman has now flipped from Alabama back to Auburn, again.
Coleman attended Auburn's Big Cat Cookout on Saturday. He was expected to attend Alabama's Cold Summer Cookout on Sunday, but those plans might be in jeopardy with his recent commitment flip.
Coleman, a four-star, top-120 prospect in the 2025 class, has recorded 131 tackles, 42.5 tackles for loss, 7.5 sacks, and one fumble recovery in two seasons with the Spartans varsity team.
Alabama's 2025 recruiting class currently looks like this:
- Dijon Lee - 5-star CB
- Keelon Russell - 5-star QB
- Caleb Cunningham - 5-star WR
- Ty Haywood - 5-star OT
- Justin Hill - 4-star EDGE
- Kaleb Edwards - 4-star TE
- Darrell Johnson - 4-star LB
- Derick Smith - 4-star S
- Chuck McDonald III - 4-star CB
- Dawson Merritt - 4-star LB
- Jackson Lloyd - 4-star OT
- Micah DeBose - 4-star OL
- Anthony Rogers - 4-star RB
- Michael Carroll - 4-star OL
- Jaedon Harmon - 4-star LB
- Mal Waldrep - 3-star OL
- Abduall Sanders Jr. - 3-star LB
- Lotzier Brooks - 3-star WR
- Luke Metz - 3-star LB
- London Simmons - 3-star DL
- Alex Asparuhov - Punter
- Peter Notaro - Kicker
It may not be the only recruiting change this weekend, as another Alabama commitment has been picking up steam to the Auburn Tigers.
