Is some excellent news out on the recruiting trail on the way for Alabama football head coach Kalen DeBoer and his staff? Things could be looking that way. Over the weekend, elite 5-star cornerback Jorden Edmonds made his way to town to meet with the Alabama coaches and players.
It looks like his visit could not have gone much better. Following that trip, On3's Steve Wiltfong has logged in his official prediction for the Crimson Tide to get a commitment from the youngster. We don't have to tell you that this would be a massive recruiting win for DeBoer.

Alabama is predicted to land 5-star CB Jorden Edmonds by On3
Throughout his recruitment, the 6-2, 175-pounder has picked up an eye-opening 43 offers. In addition to Alabama, he holds tenders from Tennessee, Georgia, Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Kentucky, LSU, Miami, Michigan and many others.
Edmonds is ranked the No. 1 CB in the country and one of the top players nationally for the 2026 class. There's a good reason he has received so much recruiting attention this cycle - he's a tremendous talent. Will DeBoer be able to land him?
That's what plenty of Alabama fans are hoping for. As of this writing, DeBoer and the Tide hold three known verbal pledges for the '26 haul. The group is led by 4-star athlete Zyan Gibson, while 3-star playmakers in EDGE Jamarion Matthews and defensive lineman Chris Booker are also on board.
With spring ball in full swing, DeBoer has been busy bringing in prospects high on his board to Tuscaloosa for unofficial visits. Once official visits open up, even more guys will be making their way to campus. Edmonds has three official visits locked in right now, as he's going to Georgia on May 30, Tennessee on June 13 and then Alabama on June 20. Right now, it sure looks like the Vols and Bulldogs are chasing Bama.
