On Thursday, the Auburn Tigers received good news when they flipped 2026 four-star quarterback Peyton Falzone from Penn State. The good news did not continue later in the day when it pertains to the 2026 recruiting class.

Top-rated in-state running back chooses the Crimson Tide after a monster junior season and becomes the seventh 2026 commit for Kalen DeBoer in June.

Kalen DeBoer called in the big guns for Alabama’s final official visit weekend. Crowell was that important for the Crimson Tide’s 2026 class. Crowell isn’t the highest-rated recruit DeBoer has landed at Alabama. The Crimson Tide secured three five-star players in 2025. It has one committed in 2026, and, potentially, has more on the way.
