Anthony "Turbo" Rogers committed to the University of Alabama in June of 2023. The 4-star running back played for the Pike Road Patriots as a freshman and sophomore and then transferred to IMG for his junior year. Rogers transferred back to Alabama and will play for Carver in Montgomery as a senior. The speedster reportedly has a laser-timed 4.8 40-yard dash and ran an 11.29 100-meter dash as a sophomore. Scouts compare him to Miami Dolphins running back Devon Achane as he's a threat to score anytime he touches the ball.

2. Darrell Johnson

The 5-star linebacker is considered the No. 6 player in the state of Georgia. He committed to Alabama in March, kicking off a string of commitments for Alabama in quick succession. He spent his junior year playing defensive back and accumulated 103 tackles. Johnson is expected to transition to linebacker for his senior year as he continues developing.

Mater Dei has been kind to Alabama and Sanders Jr. looks to continue the trend. The 4-star linebacker is considered the No. 24 player in the state of California and tallied 52 tackles with 3.5 sacks, three forced fumbles and an interception as a junior in his first year playing inside linebacker.

4. Luke Metz

The 4-star wide receiver out of New Jersey is known for a unique blend of speed and quickness. He hauled in 61 passes for 1,295 yards and 22 touchdowns as a junior and already owns the South Jersey career receiving record with 3,355 yards. While just 5-foot-9, 170-pounds his speed and athleticism look to pair nicely with Derick Smith's size and physicality as the two Crimson Tide receiver commits.

6. Keelon Russell

The 4-star quarterback started Alabama's summer commitment momentum by flipping from SMU to the Crimson Tide in June. The two-time Class 6A state champion out of Duncanville, Texas went on to wow scouts by winning the Elite 11 Finals and the Rivals Quarterback Camp showing that he's just as talented as some of the top signal callers in the class. Russell threw for 3,483 yards on 71 percent completion with 38 touchdowns compared to just three interceptions while also adding over 300 yards rushing with six touchdowns on the ground as a junior.

7. Chuck McDonald

Mater Dei cornerback Chuck McDonald

McDonald keeps the Mater Dei to Alabama pipeline strong and becomes the second cornerback in two seasons to commit to the Crimson Tide following Zabien Brown. He's shown ability to play in the slot and on the outside at Mater Dei and plays with great intensity and physicality. McDonald isn't afraid to make tackles in run support and does a great job contesting catches by playing through receivers hands.

8. Michael Carroll

Carroll transferred to IMG in Florida for his senior year and is considered the top interior lineman in the Class of 2025 by On3Sports. The 6-foot-6, 315-pound road grader became the first offensive lineman to commit to the Crimson Tide.

9. Mal Waldrep

Central Phenix City Offensive Lineman Mal Waldrep

The second offensive lineman to join the class was legacy tackle Mal Waldrep. The mammoth lineman started at left tackle for Alabama 7A state champion Central Phenix City Red Devils last season. The 6-foot-5, 320-pound prospect is an underrated prospect looking to rise up the recruiting rankings in his senior year.
