Caleb Odom, 4-star rated tight end, commits to Alabama over Auburn, Florida, Miami (FL) and Texas A&M

Carrollton (Georgia) 4-star tight end Caleb Odom made his commitment on Saturday night to the Crimson Tide

CARROLLTON, FLORIDA- Make that two Carrollton Trojan players in the past week to give a commitment to Nick Saban’s Alabama Crimson Tide. 

Last week, Class of 2026 offensive tackle Zykie Helton gave his verbal commitment to Alabama and heads into his sophomore season already with a decision made. Fellow teammate Caleb Odom, one of the most highly sought after tight ends of 2024 will be joining Helton in Tuscaloosa. 

The Carrollton (Georgia) sophomore tight end announced Saturday night via Twitter that he is committing to the Crimson Tide. The tight end is a 4-star rated prospect according to 247Sports and chose Alabama over in-state rival Auburn, Florida, Miami (FL) and Texas A&M. 

Odom figures to once again be the top target for Class of 2026 star quarterback Julian Lewis after a stellar 2022 season. The 6-foot-5, 215-pound tight end last season hauled in 63 receptions for 1,121 yards and 13 touchdowns. Also plays on the school’s basketball team.
