Major five-star flip target visiting Alabama this weekend
Alabama had a few surprises to kick off the final weekend before the Early Signing Period. BOL reported late Friday night that Bryce Underwood, ’25 five-star quarterback from Belleville High School in Michigan, arrived in Tuscaloosa for an unofficial visit. Another five-star, who is currently committed elsewhere, is a confirmed visitor on Saturday.
Eddrick Houston, five-star defensive lineman from Buford High School in Georgia, is on Alabama’s campus according to sources close to BOL. This is a very big development for the Crimson Tide. Houston had Alabama on the short list of top contenders when he announced a commitment to Ohio State on August 22.
“Nick Saban is a laid-back guy,” Houston told On3 Sports regarding the Crimson Tide prior to his decision. “They really recruit me by telling me that what I do at Buford is similar to what they do at Alabama. We have a lot of guys up there because of how similar it is to what we’re running in high school. Coach Saban and the way he’s been able to send kids to the league.”
