High school football is back. With it comes the opportunity for Alabama’s Class of 2025 and underclassman commitment pledges to help bring glory to their respective teams, and showcase their talents before taking them to Tuscaloosa.

The Crimson Tide currently has 20 commits in 2025, one pledge in 2026 and a pair of commits in the 2027 class. Each week, Tide Illustrated will tack the performances of all of Alabama’s pledges throughout the 2024 season.

Here’s how several of Alabama’s commitments performed last week.
