Alabama has still been actively recruiting despite losing both their coordinators this offseason. Recently, the coaching staff extended a slew of offers to future high school targets. One of those that received an offer from the Tide was 2024 defensive back Ify Obidegwu.
Obidegwu plays for St. Frances Academy in Baltimore, Maryland. Several players in the past that have come from that particular school are Chris Braswell, Darrian Dalcourt, and Eyabi Okie.
Alabama has made it a priority to recruit in the D.C. area in recent years. Their emphasis has proved to pay off. Obidegwu currently has over 20 offers and is still a junior. At this time, Maryland leads in his recruitment, according to On3’s RPM. It will not be easy to pry him away from Mike Locksley and the Terrapins. However, Alabama has plenty of time to emerge as a contender in his recruitment.
