The Alabama coaching staff wasted no time identifying a linebacker target in the 2025 class following five-star Ty Jackson’s decision to commit to the USC Trojans. On Sunday, the Crimson Tide extended an offer to 2025 three-star linebacker and LSU Tigers commit Jaiden Braker.
Braker was in Tuscaloosa over the weekend on an unofficial visit. It was his first trip to the Capstone. There is a good chance that Braker will return for another game before the end of the season.
Before Braker committed to LSU, he was committed to South Carolina. The Georgia native was committed to the Gamecocks for just 25 days before flipping his commitment to the Bayou Bengals.
At 6-foot-3 and 185 pounds, Braker will need to add some muscle before arriving in college. As a junior, Braker played in nine games. He recorded 48 tackles and four tackles for loss. Through the first three games of his senior season, Braker has tallied 19 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, and five sacks.
Given the fact that Alabama has very few targets remaining at the linebacker position, I would expect the coaching staff to amp up their pursuit of Braker. He could return to Tuscaloosa as soon as the Georgia game, which is on September 28. Needless to say, he will be a recruit to monitor for Alabama fans moving forward.
