Alabama Lands Four-Star Offensive Lineman Anthony Blalock Jr. for 2028

Kalen DeBoer's Alabama program has landed a major national recruit for the 2028 class with the commitment of highly-touted offensive lineman Anthony Blalock Jr. The four-star prospect hails from Youngstown, Ohio, an area traditionally strong for the Buckeyes, making this a significant coup for the Crimson Tide.

Blalock's decision is a testament to the recruiting efforts of the new Alabama coaching staff, who are building momentum on the trail. Securing a player of Blalock's caliber this early in the recruiting cycle is seen as a major boost for the program's future outlook.

This commitment immediately places Alabama at or near the top of the national recruiting rankings for the 2028 cycle, showcasing the program's continued ability to attract elite talent despite recent coaching changes.
