🚨 Alabama Tops Final Two for Game-Changing 4★ 2026 DL Titan Davis — Rivals Narrowed to Michigan
Alabama may have just made a recruiting coup. 4‑star defensive lineman Titan Davis, ranked among the Top 100 nationally and a cornerstone recruit from Missouri, has narrowed his decision to two schools: Alabama and Michigan .
🔹 Who’s Titan Davis?
Sizeable 6’4″, 270 lb DL from DeSmet Jesuit H.S. (St. Louis), he’s a dominant force with 46 tackles, 18 tackles for loss, and 9 sacks—leading his team to a state title .
Ranked No. 2 in Missouri and No. 98 nationally, Davis fits the mold of a potential bookend rusher in Kalen DeBoer’s defense .
🔹 Finalist Schools & Timeline
After eliminating Penn State and USC, Davis focused on Alabama (visit May 30–June 1) and Michigan (scheduled for June 20) . His decision will likely arrive shortly after the Michigan trip.
The timing—right after his Tuscaloosa visit—suggests Alabama holds an edge .
🔹 Why It Matters
Alabama’s defense: Davis would strengthen an already elite D-line haul in 2026, joining commits like Nolan Wilson and adding to the impact Drills led by Freddie Roach .
Program momentum: Landing a Top 100 DL from Missouri builds recruiting momentum in the Midwest and sends a powerful recruiting message.
Big Ten battle: Beating Michigan not only boosts Alabama’s class but also delivers a psychological blow in the recruiting wars between the SEC and Big Ten.
🔹 What’s Next
Michigan intensifies its pitch in Ann Arbor, showcasing its NFL DL development track record.
Alabama counters with elite facilities, coaching, NIL exposure—and a defensive legacy.
Titan Davis’s commitment decision is expected in mid-to-late June, a pivotal moment for both programs.
Bottom line: Alabama is in a two-horse sprint with Michigan for one of the 2026 class’s top defensive linemen. If DeBoer and Roach can seal the deal after this weekend’s momentum with Davis, it could reshape the recruiting map and strengthen Bama’s class with elite talent and regional influence fresh on the board.
