The Alabama Crimson Tide have been included in the list of 11 finalists for one of the nation’s premier wide receivers in the 2026 class, Devin Carter.
Announced on Thursday afternoon, the Crimson Tide were also joined by the Auburn Tigers, Georgia Bulldogs, Louisville Cardinals, LSU Tigers, Miami Hurricanes, Ohio State Buckeyes, Ole Miss Rebels, Oregon Ducks, Texas Longhorns, and Texas A&M Aggies.
According to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, Carter ranks as the nation’s No. 21 overall player in the 2026 class, as well as No. 2 prospect in the state of Georgia where he attends Douglas County High School. Carter, a five-star prospect, is also considered as the No. 3 overall wide receiver in the class.
At the moment, Alabama’s 2026 class holds only two commitments total, and ranks No. 22 overall nationally. Those two commitments are a pair of four-star prospects in cornerback Dorian Barney and defensive lineman Vodney Cleveland, and if Carter were to commit to Alabama, then he would be the highest-ranked in the Crimson Tide’s class.
