Alabama OT commit Jackson Lloyd earns 5-star ranking from On3

With high school football playoffs underway across the nation and National Signing Day just over two weeks away, On3 has updated its recruiting rankings for the 2025 class. Carmel (Calif.) offensive tackle and Alabama commit Jackson Lloyd is the No. 20 overall prospect and a new five-star in the 2025 On300.

The latest edition of On3’s 2025 rankings features 25 five-star prospects, up six from the previous update in September. Of those 25 five-stars, 23 are committed to college programs.

The 6-foot-6.5, 280-pound Lloyd committed to the Crimson Tide on June 18, choosing Alabama over Ohio State and USC.

On3 is higher on Lloyd than the other major recruiting services.

Lloyd has built a solid relationship with Alabama offensive line coach Chris Kapilovic.

“I think obviously as a person, he’s really good. And same with him as a coach,” Lloyd told BOL in October. “I was there on the Sunday practice [after the Western Kentucky game] and I really loved how he coaches and the energy he brought. Even a day after they played a game, it’s really cool to see the energy and effort he brings. He calls it ‘Juice Squad.’ He brings it himself, and he doesn’t rely on the players. Brings it and expects the players to come with it. I like that a lot.”

Lloyd is one of three five-star recruits in the 2025 On300 committed to Alabama. The Tide currently have the No. 2 class in the On3 Industry Team Recruiting Rankings for this cycle.

Scout’s Take on Jackson Lloyd

On3’s scouting and rankings team writes this about Lloyd as a prospect:

“Tall, nimble mover with an athletic profile that points to a high developmental upside at the position. Measured in at 6-foot-6 and around 280 pounds in the off-season after his junior season. Arms measure just over 33 inches. Lines up at left tackle for his high school team. An explosive mover. Fires off the snap and swallows up defensive linemen on contact. Light-footed and works to the second level with ease. Dominates subpar competition, often driving defenders out of the frame. Shows good initial movement in his pass set. Has a high cut build and will need to continue improving his base, bend and balance.

“Also lines up at defensive tackle. Has a strong multi-sport background as a top high school player in both basketball and baseball. Shows his athleticism on the basketball court, averaging 15 points per game as a junior, flashing above-the-rim bounce and the ability to run the floor. Length is below average for top offensive tackles. May need some time to adjust to the uptick in competition but athleticism and coordination point to an encouragingly high ceiling.”
