Alabama DL commit JJ Finch - Navy All-American Bowl invite

Recent Alabama defensive line commit JJ Finch has accepted an invite to the 2026 Navy All-American Bowl, he announced on social media on Monday.

The Navy All-American Bowl is an annual high school all-star game held at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. It was formerly known as the Army All-American Bowl, but has since been newly sponsored by the U.S. Navy. The game features some of the top high school talent from across the country.

The game will be held on January 10, 2026 and will be broadcast on NBC and Peacock.

Finch became one of Alabama’s newest commits yesterday, choosing the Crimson Tide off the heels of an official visit to Miami.

“Title town,” Finch told On3 last month when asked about his high interest in Alabama. “Coach (Freddie) Roach and Mr. (Courtney) Morgan. The tradition and history of the place. The consistency of each year in and out of having someone in that discussion of going to the league.”

Finch is a 6-foot-3, 280-pound defensive lineman from Warren Central High School in Indianapolis, Indiana. He’s considered a 3-star prospect according to the On3 Industry Rankings, coming in as a top-50 defensive lineman and a top-3 player in the state of Indiana.

Alabama’s class currently sits at No. 11 in the On3 Industry Rankings with nine commits, and more on the way in the coming weeks and months.
