Alabama landed its second commit in as many days following its win over Auburn on Saturday, adding a talented offensive prospect from Georgia to the 2026 class which is now 25 members strong.

3-Star tight end Jude Casone from Walton High School in Marietta, Georgia took to social media on Sunday, November 30 to make his commitment to the Crimson Tide official. He has held an Alabama offer since October of 2024, also receiving interest from the likes of Georgia, Ohio State, South Carolina and many more.

Standing at 6-foot-2, 225 lbs., Cascone is ranked as the No. 87 tight end in the nation and then No. 150 player in the Peach State, according to 247Sports' composite ranking. While he projects as more of a blocker than a downfield target, the Crimson Tide has shown multiple times this season its willingness to bring in an extra blocker on critical short yardage downs.

Despite his somewhat undersized build, Cascone has still managed to be effective as a receiver for his high school team this season. In 13 games for Walton High School, the 3-Star prospect hauled in 16 receptions for 238 yards and four touchdowns.

He also served as a linebacker on defense at times, finishing the season with 21 tackles, 3.0 TFL's and 3.0 sacks.

With the addition of the Peach State native, Alabama is up to 25 commits in the 2026 class, two of which are tight end prospects.
