Only days after landing their second quarterback of the cycle, the Alabama Crimson Tide have now added another commitment to their 2026 recruiting class, this time via a flip.

That is because, on Friday afternoon, offensive line prospect Bear Fretwell officially announced that he was flipping his commitment to the Crimson Tide from Georgia Tech. Fretwell, an in-state prospect for the Yellow Jackets, had previously been committed to Georgia Tech since June.

According to the 247Sports Composite recruiting rankings, Fretwell is currently considered as the nation’s No. 702 overall prospect in the 2026 class, as well as the No. 61 offensive tackle nationally. A three-star prospect, Fretwell also ranks as the No. 78 player in the state of Georgia where he attends Southeast Bulloch High School.

Following the flip of Fretwell to Alabama, the Crimson Tide’s class now sits at No. 4 nationally, per 247Sports, with 21 total commitments. Of those 21, five come from the state of Georgia.
