Alabama has one five-star, three four-stars, and one three-star committed to the 2026 recruiting class, with busy weekends coming in May and June for top prospects. Alabama's general manager, Courtney Morgan, and the Tide's recruiting staff will try and sell top prospects from across the country that Alabama is the place for them as they pursue their dreams of playing in the NFL.

Three of the Tide's current five commits are from Georgia, with Alabama putting an emphasis on recruiting in its neighboring state. Alabama has made the top ten list of schools for another four-star prospect from Georgia.

According to Hayes Fawcett of On3 Sports, Alabama is a top-ten finalist for four-star safety Jordan Smith.

Smith, a 6-foot-2, 180-pound safety from Houston County High School in Warner Robins, Georgia, included four other SEC schools, three ACC schools, one Big Ten school, and one AAC school in his top ten.

In alphabetical order, Smith's top ten schools are:

Alabama
Florida
Florida State
Georgia
Georgia Tech
Memphis
Michigan
Missouri
Stanford
Tennessee

Smith has yet to visit Alabama, but has taken four visits to Georgia, two to Tennessee and Florida State, and one to Georgia Tech and Florida.
