Alabama MBB offers 2025 5-Star PG Meleek Thomas

2025 point guard Meleek Thomas recently received an offer from the Alabama coaching staff. Thomas is ranked as a top-10 prospect in the 2025 recruiting cycle.

Point guard Meleek Thomas of the 2025 class received an offer from Alabama on Wednesday. Thomas is ranked as a five-star by all major recruiting circuits.

Thomas plays for Lincoln Park Performing Arts Charter School in Midland, Pennsylvania, and helped lead the school to a 31-1 record last season and the Class 4A state title.

He is well-equipped to fit into Nate Oats’ system. Thomas is listed at 6-foot-4, 175 pounds, according to 247Sports.

In the past, Alabama’s coaching staff tends to recruit guards that can score and defend. Thomas certainly fits that profile as he enters his junior year of high school.

Alabama offers No. 1 QB in 2025 class, Bryce Underwood

The Alabama coaching staff has been busy on the recruiting trail over the last few weeks. One of the Tide’s latest offers was extended to 2025 quarterback Bryce Underwood.

It is safe to say the last time Alabama had a quarterback named Bryce, the signing worked out. This time the Alabama coaching staff is hopeful 2025 quarterback Bryce Underwood will jump on board. The Tide recently extended Underwood an offer.

Underwood plays for Belleville High School in Belleville, Michigan. He is the nation’s No. 1 quarterback on all recruiting circuits. Underwood led the Tigers to a 14-0 record and the school’s second-straight Division-I state title.

Underwood threw for 2,762 yards and 37 passing touchdowns. He also rushed for 632 yards and eight touchdowns.

Thus far, Underwood has taken 23 unofficial visits, 15 of those visits have been to three Big Ten programs: Michigan (7), Michigan State (5) and Ohio State (3).

Alabama will look to make a push to land the nation’s top-ranked quarterback in the 2025 recruiting class. The coaching staff will have to cover some ground in his recruitment.

Lee’s Summit North DT Ka’Mori Moore predicted to land with Oklahoma

The Oklahoma Sooners look like the early favorite to land 2025 DT Ka’Mori Moore out of Lee’s Summit North.

The Oklahoma Sooners are building quite the pipeline out of the Kansas City area. In the 2023 cycle, Brent Venables and his squad brought in five-star defensive end [autotag]Adepoju Adebawore[/autotag] and four-star offensive tackle [autotag]Cayden Green[/autotag]. In the 2024 recruiting cycle, they look like the frontrunners for five-star defensive lineman [autotag]Williams Nwaneri[/autotag].

Nwaneri plays at the same Lee’s Summit North High School that Cayden Green came out of, and the Sooners look to be dipping back into that well for the 2025 recruiting cycle.

Oklahoma recently offered defensive tackle [autotag]Ka’Mori Moore[/autotag]. He’s currently an unrated prospect out of Lee’s Summit North, but someone who will be highly regarded by the end of the 2025 cycle.

Just a few days after his offer was made public, Parker Thune of OUInsiders issued a Rivals FutureCast favoring the Sooners in his recruitment.

Moore stands 6-foot-1 and weighs 321 pounds, according to Rivals. It’s early in his recruitment, but he holds offers from Nebraska and Iowa State as well. And as more programs become aware of Moore, expect his offer sheet to grow.

A legit nose tackle, Moore will be a force at the point of attack and give the Sooners someone to play over the center in Brent Venables’ defense in three or four-man fronts.

While it’s early in the 2025 recruiting cycle, Oklahoma’s making progress to build that class. They’ve already received commitments from four-star quarterback Kevin Sperry and four-star wide receiver Gracen Harris. The Sooners’ two commitments have them No. 5 in the 247Sports team recruiting rankings for the cycle.

It looks like Todd Bates and the Sooners have made a significant impression in the recruitment of Moore. A prediction not long after an offer bodes well for the Sooners prospects of landing the defensive tackle out of Lee’s Summit.

Alabama MBB offers 2025 PG Mikel Brown Jr.

The Alabama coaching staff recently extended an offer to 2025 point guard Mikel Brown Jr. Brown Jr. plays for Sunrise Christian Academy in Wichita, Kansas.

The Alabama coaching staff extended an offer to 2025 point guard Mikel Brown Jr. on Friday.

Brown Jr. plays for Sunrise Christian Academy in Wichita, Kansas. As a junior, he was a part of a team that had several elite 2023 prospects like five-stars Layden Blocker and John Bol.

He is regarded as the top player in Kansas by every recruiting circuit for the 2025 class. In comparison to recent point guards at Alabama, he is relatively smaller in stature. Brown Jr. stands at 6 feet, 150 pounds.

He will have time to grow as he will begin his junior season in the fall. It will be interesting to see how Alabama’s coaching staff decides to pursue the Florida native. He is currently being pursued heavily by Kansas State. The Wildcats are the favorite to land Brown Jr. at 100% likelihood, according to On3’s RPM.

Roll Tide Wire breaks down Mikel Brown Jr.’s recruiting profile.

Oklahoma lands two sport athlete in 2025 4-star WR Gracen Harris

Oklahoma continues to build its 2025 class landing a commitment from composite four-star receiver Gracen Harris.

The class of 2025 has gotten off to a much quicker start than Oklahoma’s [autotag]2024 recruiting class[/autotag], with just under two years until 2025 national signing day.

The first day of May brings the Sooners their second commitment of the [autotag]2025 recruiting class[/autotag]. Composite four-star wide receiver Gracen Harris announced his commitment to Oklahoma Football on Monday afternoon. He chose the Sooners over offers from schools such as Florida State, Baylor, and TCU.

[autotag]Gracen Harris[/autotag] hails from Ennis, Texas, and has been firmly on the Sooners’ radar the moment they landed wide receivers coach [autotag]Emmett Jones[/autotag]. Following his hiring, a crystal ball prediction was submitted for the Sooners to land the talented slot wide receiver after receiving his offer.

The momentum kept building for Oklahoma and never stopped as other predictions continued favoring Oklahoma’s chances.

Harris fits Jeff Lebby’s offense due to his ability to win from the slot. He has the speed to win vertically via slot fades but can also win with in-breaking routes and screens as well.

In 2022, Harris was named a Texas District 5-5A-II first-team selection at inside WR. The year before, he was Texas District 8-5A-II Offensive Newcomer of the Year. He’s a productive and proven slot wide receiver, and that’s where he will be deployed for the Sooners.

When not playing football, he is also a star on the baseball diamond, where he was offered a scholarship by Oklahoma Baseball head coach Skip Johnson. It seems likely Harris will double dip and be a dual sport athlete at the University of Oklahoma.

Oklahoma’s most notable dual sport athlete, [autotag]Kyler Murray[/autotag], was the No. 1 overall pick by the Arizona Cardinals in 2019 and the No. 9 overall pick in the 2018 MLB Draft.

Harris’ commitment continues to validate Oklahoma’s decision to hire Emmett Jones.

Known for his ability to recruit, Jones has already received three commitments since being hired in January. His highest-rated target, five-star wideout [autotag]Bryant Wesco[/autotag], is still uncommitted, but Jones’ efforts have the Sooners in the lead for him as well.

2025 QB commit Kevin Sperry is now joined by Gracen Harris as Oklahoma works on building two recruiting classes at once.

Five-star TE Davon Mitchell includes the Oklahoma Sooners in his top 5

The Oklahoma Sooners were included in the top 5 for 5-star TE Davon Mitchell, along with Alabama, Texas, Texas A&M, and Miami.

The Oklahoma Sooners have recruited as well as just about anyone in college football over the last year and a half. They’re in a great spot with a number of blue chip prospects in the 2024 and 2025 recruiting classes. One of those prospects is five-star tight end [autotag]Davon Mitchell[/autotag].

Mitchell included the Oklahoma Sooners, Alabama Crimson Tide, Texas Longhorns, Texas A&M Aggies, and Miami Hurricanes.

“Oklahoma is a school I am familiar with,” Mitchell told On3’s Chad Simmons (On3+). I have been there four or five times, so I feel comfortable. The atmosphere is strong. I like the coaching staff and they always feature their top tight ends. Coach [autotag]Brent Venables[/autotag] and coach [autotag]Joe Jon Finley[/autotag] have really recruited me hard, so I have some strong relationships too.”

Mitchell also told Simmons that he plans on committing soon, though no timeline has been set at this time.

The 2025 tight end prospect has been tied to the Oklahoma Sooners for some time with crystal ball predictions and Rivals FutureCasts favoring the Sooners in his recruitment. Mitchell is the No. 2 tight end and No. 1 player in the state of California in the both the 247Sports composite and On3 Industry rankings for the [autotag]2025 recruiting cycle[/autotag].

There’s still a long way to go in the pursuit of Davon Mitchell. The Sooners are up against some of college football’s heavy hitters on the recruiting trail. Though Oklahoma’s in a fantastic position in the recruitment, fending off Alabama, Texas, Texas A&M, and Miami is no small task.

Alabama offers 2025 SF Joson Sanon from Massachusetts

The Alabama coaching staff recently extended an offer to 2025 small forward Joson Sanon. Sanon plays for Expressions Elite on the Nike EYBL Circuit.

The Alabama coaching staff hit the road over the weekend to check out some recruits that are playing for circuit teams across the country. One player that caught the eye of the coaching staff was 2025 small forward Joson Sanon. The Massachusetts native received an offer from the Tide on Monday,

Sanon plays for Vermont Academy in Saxtons River, Vermont. He is ranked as the top prospect in the state by all recruiting ricuits. At 6-foot-5, 180 pounds, Sanon can play either the two or three spot on the floor.

When speaking with On3’s Jamie Shaw, Sanon had this to say:

“Loyalty will be big for me,” Sanon said. “I also want to go to a good program, one that wins. I’d like to play in a system that has a lot of space on the floor. Maybe one big in the paint, like four around one. Two bigs are ok too, but I just want to play with a lot of spacing.”

His preferred style of play sounds similar to what Alabama head coach Nate Oats runs. Oats prefers to play 4-out and 1-in. Meaning, he prefers to use two guards and two wings along with a big man to protrol the pain and set screens if needed. That sounds like something that Oats and the coaching staff could employ to get Sanon more intrigued with Alabama. The level of spacing will always be there in Oats’ offenses.
