Alabama Adds JUCO Offensive Lineman to 2026 Recruiting Class

In this story:
Less than 24 hours after taking down rival Auburn on the road in the 90th edition of the annual Iron Bowl game, Kalen DeBoer and the Crimson Tide staff received some excellent news on the recruiting trail as Alabama added another commitment to the 2026 class.
JUCO offensive line prospect Tyrell Miller from College of San Mateo in California is the latest member of the Tide's 2026 class, becoming the 24th prospect to make his Alabama pledge official.
He took to social media to share the news.
I am more than excited to commit to the University of Alabama, #RollTide

Standing at 6-foot-5, 305 lbs., Miller is a physically impressive prospect that fits right in line with what the Crimson Tide staff has recruited at the position recently. He originally hails from James Logan High School in Union City, California, but transferred to Archbishop Riordan in San Francisco as a junior.
This season, as a sophomore for College of San Mateo, he's helped lead the Bulldogs to an impressive 10-1 record with just one game remaining against Modesto Junior College for the Northern California Football Regional Finals.
While Miller is certainly a late addition to the class, he is a necessary one as the Tide recently lost out on a commitment from 4-Star Sam Utu, who announced his decommitment earlier this week on November 24.
With the addition of the impressive JUCO prospect, Alabama is back up to 24 commitments in the class, four of which are offensive linemen. While there is still time to add even more talent, the Tide has seemingly secured a very strong class with many players expected to utilize the early signing period once it opens on December 3.
