There’s a new Sabb in Tuscaloosa - and if his high school résumé is any indication, Alabama fans should be paying attention.
Amari Sabb, a 2026 athlete out of Glassboro (N.J.) High School, has committed to the Crimson Tide, joining a program his family is quickly turning into a second home.
His older brother, Keon Sabb, transferred to Alabama from Michigan in 2024 after winning a national title in Ann Arbor. Two years later, Keon wrapped up a strong season as one of Alabama’s top defensive contributors.
Now, it’s Amari’s turn to make his mark.
Let’s break down what the Tide are getting in the younger Sabb.
A Two-Way Star with Game-Changing Ability
Amari was a force on both sides of the ball in his senior year. Offensively, he racked up 1,739 scrimmage yards and 26 total touchdowns - numbers that jump off the page no matter the level of competition.
He was electric as a receiver, hauling in 53 catches for 916 yards and 12 touchdowns. But he didn’t stop there.
Lining up in the backfield, he added 823 yards and 14 more scores on just 65 carries. That’s over 12 yards per carry - a stat that speaks to his vision, burst, and ability to finish runs.
Defensively, Amari showed off his ball-hawking instincts. He recorded 28 tackles and snagged six interceptions, proving he’s not just a one-dimensional athlete. Whether he’s tracking the ball in coverage or stepping up in run support, he brings a physical, playmaking presence to the field.
It’s that versatility that makes his “athlete” label so fitting. Alabama has options with him - he could project as a safety like his brother, a receiver, or even a hybrid weapon that defensive coordinators lose sleep over. And given the Tide’s recent success in developing multi-positional talent, Amari’s ceiling in Tuscaloosa feels wide open.
Following in Keon’s Footsteps - and Maybe Paving a Path for Another
Keon Sabb made an immediate impact after arriving in 2024. By the 2025 season, he had become a reliable piece of Alabama’s defense, finishing fifth on the team with 54 tackles. He added 2.5 tackles for loss, a sack, and an interception - a strong showing for a player adjusting to a new system in the SEC.
Now, with Keon wrapping up his college career, Amari steps in with a chance to build on that family legacy. And it might not stop there.
The youngest Sabb brother, Xavier, is already making waves as a five-star wide receiver in the 2027 class. He holds an Alabama offer and currently ranks as a top-25 national recruit. If he follows the same path, the Crimson Tide could be looking at a rare three-brother pipeline - a trio with serious star potential.
For now, though, all eyes are on Amari. He’s got the production, the pedigree, and the opportunity. And if his high school tape is any indication, Alabama just landed a dynamic playmaker who can help shape the next era of Crimson Tide football.
