Ethan "Boobie" Feaster, a four-star receiver, will visit Tuscaloosa on May 30th for an official visit with the Crimson Tide, as reported by Andrew Bone from On3 Sports.

Feaster is entering his senior year at DeSoto High School in DeSoto, Texas, where the four-star prospect caught 57 catches for 824 yards to go along with his 13 touchdowns, which helped DeSoto reach the quarterfinals of Texas's 6A D-II State Playoffs, according to Feaster's 247 Sports Scouting Report.

The Texas native is considered one of the top prospects in the 2026 class. On3 ranks Feaster as the No. 4 wide receiver and the No. 6 prospect in Texas, placing him as the overall No. 43 prospect in the 2026 class. He was previously a five-star recruit before reclassifying from the 2027 class to the 2026 class back in February.

Alabama has been actively recruiting a four-star wide receiver, with the Tide's wide receiver coach, JaMarcus Shepard, traveling to Texas to visit the prospect and his family at Feaster's home on Tuesday. Ranked as the No. 4 wide receiver in the 2026 class, he last visited Alabama at the beginning of March, where he had a successful experience, which ultimately led him to schedule his official visit for May.

Feaster will be making his second visit to Alabama's campus in May, and this time it will be his first Official Visit. The four-star prospect included Alabama in his list of top 12 schools, which he released on Valentine's Day. This list features six SEC teams: Texas A&M, LSU, Texas, Tennessee, Oklahoma, and, of course, Alabama.

The 6-foot-and-a-half, 175-pound wide receiver would be a huge addition to Alabama's 2026 recruiting class, which currently ranks seventh in the nation, and third in the SEC according to On3's Team Recruiting Rankings, with the Tide recently signing five-star cornerback Jorden Edmonds back in March, and then three-star Kamharyian Johnson during Alabama's A-Day event on April 12th.

Feaster will be joined by several prospects for an Official Visit on May 30th, according to On3. The list includes:

2026 No.2 TE, Mark Bowman
2026 No.4 DL, Nolan Wilson
2026 No.5 LB, Cincere Johnson
2026 No.6 LB, Brayden Rouse
2026 No.8 OT, Malakai Lee
2026 No.10 DL, Titan Davis
2026 four-star EDGE, Kevin Ford
2026 No.10 RB, Jonaz Walton
2026 four-star TE, Xavier Tiller
2026 four-star ATH, Ryan Mosley
2026 four-star IOL, Chris Booker (Alabama Commit)
2026 four-star S, Tamarion Watkins
2026 four-star OT, Deacon Schmitt
2026 four-star DL, JJ Finch
2026 three-star OT, Bryson Cooley
