CLICK HERE for signing times for current Tide commitments. Alabama has several commitments who joined the team for the start of bowl practices.

*We will add each as signee once announced via the University of Alabama.

Notable players who won’t sign and/or announce during the Early Signing Period:

• Ryan Williams, five-star plus+ WR from Saraland HS in Ala. (Alabama commitment)
• Terry Bussey, five-star ATH From Timpson HS in Texas (Texas A&M commitment)
• Zay Mincey, No. 2 CB from Mainland HS in Daytona Beach, Fla.
• Daniel Hill, four-star RB from Meridian HS in Miss.

Williams, who recently announced plans to reclassify from the ’25 to ’24 class will wait until February 9 to sign. The long-time Alabama commit wants to take official visits before signing, on his birthday. Williams has indicated plans for visits to Alabama, Auburn, LSU and Texas. More may also add to the list.

Mincey and Hill will sign their letter of intent this week. The decision will not unveil until the All-American Bowl on January 6. Many peg Mincey’s recruitment as one that is down to Alabama and Miami. Hill’s decision may come down to who else Alabama adds at running back on Wednesday. Additions from Riley and/or Baugh may push Hill elsewhere.

Bussey is expected as one of the biggest names in the late period unless he has a change of heart this week. Alabama has remained in contact, and currently expects the sensational athlete to return to Tuscaloosa at some point in January.
