On Monday afternoon, the Alabama Crimson Tide got back on the board in the 2026 recruiting class by landing a commitment from offensive line prospect Sam Utu.
Utu, a four-star prospect, is considered as the nation’s No. 176 overall player in the 2026 class according to the 247Sports Composite recruiting rankings, as well as the No. 11 overall interior offensive lineman. The four-star is also considered the No. 19 overall prospect in the state of California where he attends Orange Lutheran High School.
Following the commitment of Utu, Alabama’s class now owns a total of six commits, each of which are rated as a four-star prospect or higher.
The Crimson Tide have also now risen up the recruiting rankings following Utu’s commitment as well. Here is where Alabama is ranked by recruiting sites following Utu’s commitment.

Utu is Alabama’s first commitment since the calendar flipped to June, and Monday’s decision from the four-star might just be the starting point to what could be a wild summer of commitments for the program on the recruiting trail.
