Alabama football’s signing day steals
There was only one big shocker for the Crimson Tide on Early Signing Day, which is when four-star wide receiver Derek Meadows flipped to Alabama after having been committed to the LSU Tigers since July of 2024. Meadows is an antiquing wide receiver prospect at 6-foot-5, one who ranks as the No. 119 overall prospect in the 2025 class according to the 247Sports Composite rankings.
Alabama also had some targets opt-to sign elsewhere, a group that included defensive lineman Justus Terry to Texas, as well as safety Anquon Fegans and cornerback Donovan Starr to the Auburn Tigers.
The Crimson Tide also had a player flip and sign elsewhere, as three-star running back Jace Clarizio flipped back to the Michigan State Spartans.
