The Alabama Crimson Tide's football recruiting is on fire as the program gets set to host its third weekend in a row of double-digit official visitors. The visits have been paying dividends for the Crimson Tide as Alabama has added four new commitments to its Class of 2025 with three coming in the last week alone.

Alabama added cornerback Chuck McDonald to its class last Saturday and added offensive linemen Michael Carroll and Mal Waldrep on Monday and Tuesday respectively. This weekend will be another doozy as the Crimson Tide brings in recruits from around the country to check out the Capstone.
