Alabama continues to bolster its recruiting prowess by securing No. 2 overall safety Jireh Edwards from St. Frances Academy in Baltimore, MD.
This addition is part of their impressive No. 2 overall signing class for 2026. The Crimson Tide isn't stopping there, as they're eyeing more talent from this national powerhouse for the 2027 cycle.
One of the key prospects on their radar is Elijah Butler from Lanham, MD. Butler, who recently transferred to St.
Frances Academy from Mount Zion Prep, has confirmed plans for an official visit to Tuscaloosa from June 5-7. He shared the news on social media, sparking excitement among fans eager to see what he might bring to Alabama's defense.
Joining Butler on this visit will be his teammate, tight end Michael Nnabifue, also from Baltimore. Nnabifue is set to make his way to Alabama during the same weekend and is expected to have an additional visit in the spring. Meanwhile, Butler has already scheduled a trip to Alabama in April.
The Crimson Tide's strategic recruitment from St. Frances Academy underscores their commitment to building a formidable roster. With these potential additions, Alabama is setting the stage for continued dominance on the field.
