The Alabama Crimson Tide looks to be rolling on all fronts at this point of the season. After a disappointing week one performance on the road, the Tide is now 5-1 with three straight wins against top 25 opponents, two of which were roadtrips themselves.

Not only has Kalen DeBoer and the Alabama coaching staff found success on the field, but they have managed to stay very active on the recruiting trail as well.

This week, the Crimson Tide was named among the final schools for one of the top cornerback prospects in the nation for the 2027 class, Mikyal Davis from Desert Edge High School in Goodyear, Arizona. He took to social media on Tuesday to share the news.
