Talented four-star receiver CJ Wiley out of Milton, GA included Alabama as one of his final ten schools. The new coaching staff visited Wiley a few weeks ago and hosted him at Junior Day where he got to meet fellow recruits and the remainder of the coaching staff. Alabama will have a great asset in JaMarcus Shephard who's established himself as one of the nation's top receivers coaches with three players expected to be drafted early on in April's draft.

One of the Nation's top running backs Akylin Dear included Alabama among his final 12 schools. The Mississippi native appears headed to Ole Miss however there's significant interest between the player and the school:
"They are still at the top of my board because Coach Gillespie is still there. I like ho coach DeBoer used Dillon Johnson last year."

The Alabama Football program has been heavily recruiting the running back position with a commitment from Anthony Johnson while recruiting backs Bo Jackson, Alvin Henderson, and several other backs. Playing against Alabama will also be the outlook of the running back room as Justice Haynes, Richard Young, Daniel Hill, and Kevin Riley will all likely be back in 2025.
