Kalen DeBoer and his staff are gearing up for a busy month of recruiting. With a ton of official visits set, the Crimson Tide is likely to see a big recruiting run over the next six weeks. It's what happened last season, and with the amount of talent expected in Tuscaloosa for an official visit, it's probably going to happen again.

One of the prospects expected to be in Tuscaloosa next weekend for an official visit just announced his final four group of schools that are still in contention to land his commitment. 4-star DL Titan Davis from St. Louis, Missouri, has Alabama among his final four schools, joining Michigan, USC, and Penn State. He announced the list on Saturday via On3's Hayes Fawcett:

Davis is listed at 6-foot-5 and 238 pounds. He's listed as an "Edge" in recruiting databases, but has the frame that will allow him to be versatile along the defensive line. He could be a bigger Wolf LB in Kane Wommack's defensive system at Alabama, similar to how the staff plans to utilize Jah-Marien Latham this season. He could also project as a Bandit.

Davis is a consensus 4-star prospect and ranks as the No. 2 prospect in Missouri and the No. 98 overall player in the country, per the 247 Composite Rankings.

Titan Davis is one of the headliners for a big recruiting weekend in Tuscaloosa

This coming weekend is a big one for the Alabama staff. Some of their top prospects will be in town, and the Crimson Tide will be rolling out the red carpet and hoping to lock down some commitments, silent or public, to begin building up their 2026 class.

Davis is one of Alabama's top targets on the defensive line for this class.

Along with Davis, Alabama will be hosting a slew of highly-rated prospects. The headliner is 5-star safety Jett Washington from Las Vegas, but they are also scheduled to host plenty of other blue-chippers, including WR Boobie Feaster, RB KJ Edwards, DL Nolan Wilson, LB Cincere Johnson, LB Brayden Rouse, and OL Malakai Lee.

DeBoer and this staff have done an excellent job landing this many official visits from top prospects and finding their way into the final group for so many, but you don't get points in recruiting for coming close. Official visit season is all about sealing the deal from the work you've put in up to this point.
