Alabama football has picked up its first commitment at wide receiver from the class of 2026.
Three-star Tennessee receiver Owen Cabell announced his commitment to the Crimson Tide on Monday. Listed as 6-foot-3, 201 pounds, Cabell chose Alabama over a number of SEC and Big Ten schools, including Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Vanderbilt.
The addition of Cabell gives Alabama 15 hard commitments in the class of 2026. Cabell, who plays for Christ Presbyterian Academy in Nashville, is the seventh offensive player to commit to coach Kalen DeBoer, whose team has risen significantly in the various industry recruiting rankings after a big month in June.
In the past week alone, Alabama has landed 5-star EDGE Xavier Griffin from Gainesville (Ga.), 5-star running back Ezavier Crowell (Jackson, Ala.), 4-star tight end Mack Sutter from Dunlap, Ill., and 3-star recruits Javari Barnett (running back, Tampa), Rihyael Kelley (safety, Cincinnati) and Zay Hall (linebacker; Hillcrest High School in Tuscaloosa).
After the Crimson Tide’s recent run in recruiting, 247Sports ranks Alabama with the No. 8 overall class in 2026. On3 has them at No. 9. Cabell is ranked as the No. 939 overall recruit in 2026 by On3, which lists him as the nation’s 145th wide receiver. He recently clocked a 4.4 in the 40-yard dash, according to a video shared to social media.
At wide receiver, DeBoer and staff are also targeting 5-star in-state recruit Cederian Morgan from Alexander City and 3-star Sunshine State target Brian Williams out of Orlando.
