With National Signing Day just around the corner, the 2025 recruiting cycle is nearing its end. The Alabama football team has excelled, boasting one of the top classes in the nation. Currently ranked fourth, there’s potential for the Crimson Tide’s class to improve further. Although most players have already committed, a few remain undecided, and Alabama has connections to some of them. While the Crimson Tide may not be the front-runners for these recruits, there’s still a chance they could end the cycle on a high note.
One key target is four-star offensive tackle Ty Haywood. Initially committed to Alabama, he was swayed by Michigan before signing day, leading him to decommit from the Crimson Tide. Although Michigan appears to be the favorite, Alabama still has a shot at landing Haywood. He’s a highly sought-after recruit, ranked as the 38th player in the 2025 class, the 6th offensive tackle, and the 9th player in Texas. Attending Ryan High School in Denton, Texas, Haywood boasts impressive physical attributes and a strong multi-sport background. Despite some areas for improvement, his potential makes him a valuable asset for any team.
