Alabama is looking to build its 2026 class, which already has five commits: two cornerbacks, two defensive linemen, and one offensive lineman, and currently ranks ninth in the nation and fourth in the SEC according to On3.

With the dead period ending on Wednesday, May 28, the Tide has lined up a guest list filled with some of the class of 2026’s best prospects, with nine top-150 prospects expected to be in town this upcoming weekend for Official Visits.

Alabama looks to close in on Jett Washington, who listed the Tide in his top-11 schools back in February before returning to Tuscaloosa during the Crimson Tide’s annual A-Day back in April. Alabama is a top contender for the five-star safety, with Washington telling On3’s Blake Byler earlier in the week that “They’ve (Alabama’s coaching staff) been consistent, and I’ve constantly grown with their staff over the whole recruiting process.”

Cincere Johnson is another priority target for the Tide with the No.3 linebacker in the class, placing Alabama in his top three back on May 6. Johnson was on campus just over a month ago with Washington when the Tide held its A-Day. The number one prospect out of Ohio told On3's Steve Wiltfong on Tuesday that his commitment date will be on June 19.

Titan Davis is another prospect who was in attendance for Alabama’s A-Day and has also narrowed his list down with the No.9 defensive lineman in the 2026 class, recently placing Alabama in his top four schools on Sunday.

One prospect to keep an eye on is Brayden Rouse, who is a linebacker from Georgia and a priority target for the Crimson Tide. Alabama’s GM, Courtney Morgan, and linebacker coach, Chuck Morrell, went to Rouse’s home for a visit back at the beginning of May, where the program informed Rouse that the four-star linebacker is at the "top of their recruiting board".

Rouse narrowed his list of schools down to four back in April, with the Tide being one of the four teams on that list.

This upcoming weekend will see one five-star, 14 four-stars, and one three-star on campus for the Tide’s first of many eventful recruiting weekends scheduled through June.

Let’s take a look at who will be in town this upcoming weekend, according to On3.
