This weekend marked the final weekend of Official Visits this summer across college football as the recruiting dead period will begin on June 25th and conclude on July 25th. Heading into this weekend, the summer was already a massive success as the Crimson Tide have reeled in several top recruits. Here are the biggest storylines for Alabama Football on the recruiting trail heading into the dead period:
Micah DeBose commits while on his visit providing incredible moment
The Alabama Football team got a commitment late Saturday night as four-star offensive lineman Micah DeBose committed to Alabama in front of the staff, several current players, the coaching staff, and most importantly other top recruits.

In the video where DeBose commits to Alabama, you can see Kalen DeBoer enjoying the announcement. In many ways, the video and the ensuing reactions show the difference in approaches to recruiting, as in the past we hardly ever saw Nick Saban excited about landing a recruit.
The Alabama staff and Roq Montgomery were pumped 💪 after Micah DeBose announced his commitment to Alabama.

Tide appear to be in the lead for five-star cornerback Dijon Lee ahead of his commitment
This weekend, the Alabama Football team got the final official visit with five-star cornerback Dijon Lee before he announces his commitment on June 28th. The Five-Star Cornerback is ranked as the best player in California, the 30th best player in the class, and the 5th best cornerback in the class. This weekend it looks like the Tide did everything they needed to do as the Tide received multiple crystal ball predictions to land a commitment from Lee. If the Tide land Lee, it would mark the first five-star commitment Kalen DeBoer has landed while at Alabama.
