Alabama Crimson Tide

Kalen DeBoer and the Alabama coaching staff have dominated on the 2026 recruiting trail thus far, so much so that the Crimson Tide has even been able to turn some of its attention to the class of 2027 as well.

The staff seemingly did just that this week, lining up a visit with one of the top uncommitted prospects in the 2027 class, 4-Star linebacker Kaden Henderson from Jesuit High School in Tampa, Florida.

He took to social media to share the news.

Henderson will be in town for the Tide's home showdown with Tennessee, who enters the game as the No. 11 team in the nation fresh off of a win against Arkansas. Alabama will be looking to earn its revenge after last season in which DeBoer's squad fell, 24-17, in Knoxville.

The 4-Star linebacker prospect stands 6-foot-2, 200 lbs. and is currently ranked as the No. 2 player at his position in the nation and the No. 3 player in the state of Florida, according to 247Sports' composite ranking.

As a junior for Jesuit High School this season, Henderson has compiled an incredible 28 tackles, eight of which have gone for a loss, and five sacks, all in just five games.

Alabama currently holds four commitments in its 2027 recruiting class, two of which have mande their decisions within the last month. While there is still plenty of time before the class makes their final choices, the Tide looks to have an excellent early jump on the rest of not only the SEC, but the country as a whole.
