Welcome to BamaCentral’s "Just a Minute," a daily video series featuring BamaCentral's Alabama beat writers. Multiple times a week, the writers will group up or film solo to provide their take on a topic concerning the Crimson Tide or the landscape of college sports.

Watch the above video as BamaCentral's recruiting writer Mason Woods and beat writer Joe Gaither breakdown 5-Star wide receiver Cederian Morgan's skill set and discuss the potential of him landing with the Crimson Tide.

As the calendar moves into summer, not only does the outside temperature heat up, but the recruiting trail as well. This week, the Crimson Tide received a bit of good news as one of its top prospects in the 2026 class officially locked in his commitment date.

5-Star wide receiver Cederian Morgan from Benjamin Russell High School in Alexander City, Alabama is set to make his decision on July 2nd and will choose between Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Clemson and Colorado.

The 6-foot-4, 210 lb. wideout is an electrifying prospect with strong hands and an extremely wide catch radius. He has a build similar to that of Julio Jones, and also possesses many of the same traits that made Jones such an elite receiver threat.

Morgan has the ability to not only burn defenders down field on go routes, but can also work in short yardage and goal line situations with ease. He is supremely smooth in his movement and displays excellent body control when snagging contested catches.

The talented prospect has already made the trip to Tuscaloosa once this year for A-Day, but he is set for a return visit on June 20th.

The Crimson Tide has yet to land a wideout for the 2026 recruiting class, but outside of Morgan has also been in heavy pursuit of other top prospects like Somourian Wingo and Ethan "Boobie" Feaster.

If DeBoer and his staff can recreate anything similar to last year when the Tide landed Derrick Meadows and Lotzeir Brooks, Alabama should once again come away with impressive talent at the wide receiver position in this cycle.
