The Crimson Tide 's most recent recruiting class in 2024 finished with 27 commitments and came in as the No. 2 recruiting class in the country per the 247Sports Composite. The Crimson Tide 's most recent No. 1 recruiting class came the year before in 2023.
Here are two players the Crimson Tide is targeting at early signing day.
Alabama football recruiting targets
Four-star wide receiver Derek Meadows is big on Alabama's flip list. Meadows is a current LSU football commit, having been committed to the Tigers since July 2024. Meadows is a Las Vegas, Nevada, native and ranks as the No. 3 prospect in Nevada within the 2025 class and as the No. 17 wide receiver in the class. If he were to flip, Meadows would join three-star Lotzeir Brooks in Alabama's 2025 wide receiver room. He differs from Brooks simply based on size alone. Meadows stands at 6-foot-5, 200-pounds, Brooks at 5-foot-9, 170-pounds.

Another target for the Crimson Tide is four-star cornerback and Tupelo, Mississippi , native Maison Dunn. Dunn has been committed to Ole Miss since May 2024, but the Crimson Tide have been making a late push for him. He ranks as the No. 11 player in Mississippi in the 2025 class and as the No. 27 cornerback in the class per the 247Sports Composite. If he were to flip, Dunn would be joining five-star Dijon Lee and four-star Chuck McDonald in Alabama's 2025 cornerback room.
