Alabama extends offer to 2025 DL Jourdin Crawford

2025 defensive lineman Jourdin Crawford recently received an offer from the Crimson Tide.

On Tuesday, the Alabama coaching staff extended an offer to rising 2025 prospect Jourdin Crawford. Alabama became the sixth school to extend an offer to Crawford.

The native of Birmingham, Alabama plays for Parker High School and is an anchor on the defensive line at 6-foot-1, 280 pounds. As a result, schools have already started to take notice of the elite sophomore.

Several other programs like Georgia Tech, Miami, Oklahoma, Michigan, and UCF have offered as well. Crawford still has several years to bring in offers, but Alabama is likely in good standing with the defensive lineman.

Roll Tide Wire will continue to follow Crawford’s recruitment as well as other Alabama football recruiting news.

Oklahoma continues its first look at the class of 2025 with offer to Jourdin Crawford

The Oklahoma Sooners extend an offer to 2025 defensive lineman Jourdin Crawford out of Birmingham, Alabama.

Oklahoma was bullish on extending offers to high school freshmen for many reasons. Now, with those freshmen months away from being sophomores, the Sooners have begun to send out offers more regularly.

Recently, 2025 wide receiver prospect Isaiah Mozee received an offer from the Sooners. Another offer was extended to 2025 defensive lineman Jourdin Crawford from Birmingham, Alabama.

Crawford is just a high school sophomore, but his athletic profile is absolutely that of someone who will likely a top 125 recruit as the years pass by.

 

Alabama is becoming a hotspot for the Sooners to recruit out of after years of shying away from it under Lincoln Riley. Defensive line coach Todd Bates is from Alabama, and he recruited it extensively as a coach while at Clemson. Now at Oklahoma, he’s bringing that same tenacity in recruiting the state of Alabama that he displayed for the Tigers.

As a sophomore, Crawford doesn’t have many offers but that’ll change over the next few months as the class of 2025 starts to round into shape and take over the camp circuit in abundance. The only four offers he holds are  Oklahoma, Michigan, Georgia Tech and Coastal Carolina.

Crawford’s recruitment will be one to follow over the next few years given Bates’ emphasis on recruiting the state of Alabama. The 2023 and 2024 classes have multiple high-level targets with OU offers that hail from Alabama and Todd Bates has been a key figure as the Sooners open up new recruiting grounds.

Rising star DL recruit felt like he was ‘a part of the team’ at Clemson

This is a rising star prospect for Clemson fans to look out for in the future.

The Tigers are among the college football programs showing early interest in Jackson-Olin High School (Birmingham, Ala.) defensive tackle Jourdin Crawford, a 6-foot-3, 293-pound freshman in the class of 2025 who already has early offers from Georgia Tech and UCF.

“I’ve been visited by a few schools and my coaches and trainers have been in contact with some schools,” Crawford said to The Clemson Insider recently.

Clemson is one of the schools that have paid Crawford a visit, as defensive tackles coach Todd Bates, along with former Tigers defensive coordinator Brent Venables, traveled to Jackson-Olin in December.

Bates is already hard after Crawford, whose former head coach at Jackson-Olin, Tim Vakakes, told TCI he believes Crawford will be a star and the best player in the country for the 2025 class.

“I would describe myself as strong, fast, versatile, explosive and disciplined,” Crawford said, summing up himself as a player. “I love the game and I love the challenge that comes with it.”

Crawford made visits this season to Clemson, Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi State and Georgia Tech.

When he went to Clemson for the Tigers’ game vs. Georgia Tech in September, it marked his first college game visit.

“It was a great experience,” he said. “I like the family environment. They made all the recruits feel like we were a part of the team.”

Crawford also traveled to Clemson for the Dabo Swinney Camp last summer and plans to camp at Clemson again this summer.

“Clemson has a great recruiting team,” he said. “They make sure our coaches keep us up to date on visits and camps. I think they have a great program.”

Of course, Clemson doesn’t offer prospects as young as Crawford, but he has his fingers crossed for a future offer from the Tigers.

“They have a family environment. Everyone seems supportive,” he said. “It would be an honor.”
