Alabama has been scaring teams on and off the field for almost two decades, and if you thought that was all going to change when Nick Saban retired three months ago, then I have some bad news for you: they are never going to stop, even under new head coach Kalen DeBoer.
Alabama Is A Major Threat To Steal Julian Lewis
Ncaa Football Sugar Bowl Coaches Press Conference
The Crimson Tide has undergone many roster changes since Saban stepped down and saw some big-time current players and commits leave the program, but DeBoer could be stealing the best player in the country.
A report from BamaonLine.com from On3 stated, “Alabama is the biggest threat to flip the number one recruit in the nation, quarterback Julian Lewis from USC.
“Lewis reportedly has taken multiple visits to Tuscaloosa in the spring and is in the process of scheduling an official visit.”
Lewis Is One Of The Best Quarterbacks In 2025
According to 247sports.com, Lewis is a five-star recruit and the fourth-best quarterback in the 2025 class. Lewis is from Georgia, so he is in the SEC region, which could help him choose the Crimson Tide.
It Will Be Hard To Get Lewis Away From USC
It will take a lot of work to get Lewis to flip from USC since he will be playing for head coach Lincoln Riley, who has produced three Heisman winners and three first-overall picks at the quarterback position when Caleb Williams goes first overall in two weeks to the Chicago Bears.
The good news is that Alabama’s head coach, Kalen DeBoer, has had success at the quarterback position while he was at Washington with Michael Penix Jr., who turned into one of the best quarterbacks in the sport. Still, he has yet to do it at Alabama, which could be another reason Lewis doesn’t go to the Crimson Tide.
We witnessed a USC quarterback commit named Bryce Young flip to Alabama back in 2019, and it worked out well for him, so maybe Lewis will follow in his footsteps.
