Renaud spoke with On3 about Alabama in a previous interview

“I feel that Alabama has always been a perennial powerhouse,” Renaud said. “As far as development goes, they have some of the best development in the country. Me and coach Roach have a great relationship. When I went on my visit there, it was very eye opening to what Alabama really is, and what they do for their players.”

The Lone Star state offensive lineman joins coach Saban and the Crimson Tide’s No. 1 class in the 2023 team rankings. He is accompanied by Caleb Downs, Tony Mitchell, and others.

Jordan Renaud Scouting Summary

“Tenacious run stopper who plays the game with his hair on fire,” On3’s Director of Scouting Charles Power wrote. “Long arms allow him to keep his chest clean against the run consistently. Flashes raw power as a pass rusher with his bull rush and snatch-pull. Has some heavy footedness but shows hip fluidity and balance to compensate. The body control and leverage stems from this hip looseness. High motor player that always pursues to the ball carrier from the backside. Needs to add mass throughout his frame in order to effectively kick inside at the next level. Can also stand to improve his production as a senior.”

Renaud currently ranks as the No. 67 player in the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that accounts for all four major recruiting services. He also tabs in as the No. 9 edge and the No. 12 player in the state of Texas
