5-star OT Kadyn Proctor flips to Alabama from Iowa

Des Moines (Iowa) Southeast Polk five-star offensive tackle Kadyn Proctor has flipped his commitment from Iowa to Alabama.

The top player from Iowa, Proctor has been committed to the Hawkeyes since the end of June. But after an official visit to Oregon last month, Proctor went on flip watch as the Crimson Tide stormed to the lead.

Proctor is the No. 12 overall recruit and No. 2 offensive tackle in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

The Crimson Tide have the No. 1 class in the 2023 On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Ranking with four five-star players leading the way.

He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $264k. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
