Ba'Roc Willis is an edge in the 2027 recruiting class from Moody and has now decommitted from Alabama football.

As Alabama football turns its attention to the 2026 recruiting class, the Crimson Tide lost one of its three commitments in the 2027 class.

The Crimson Tide's 2027 recruiting class took a hit this week as Kalen DeBoer and his staff lost a commitment from 4-Star edge rusher Ba'Roc Willis. The 6-foot-3, 220 lb. defender had been committed to Alabama since July of last year.

A former NFL and University of Alabama football player has been arrested and charged following a domestic violence incident that occurred in December 2024.

Mobile-native and former first round MLB draft pick Bubba Thompson is set to play football at South Alabama. Thompson, a 2017 graduate of McGill-Toolen Catholic, was a highly touted high school prospect in both football and baseball.

Bubba Thompson played 109 games for the Texas Rangers and Cincinnati Reds over the last three seasons. Now, the 26-year-old is switching sports, and will follow in the footsteps of players like Chris Weinke by playing college football in his mid-20s.
