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.

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.
