Five-Star QB Elijah Haven Leads Alabama's 15-Man 2027 Class
Alabama's class is smaller than usual this cycle, with four blue-chip prospects and six in-state commits.
Alabama has 15 commitments in its 2027 recruiting class, which On3 ranked No. 33 nationally as of late September. The headliner is five-star quarterback Elijah Haven of Baton Rouge, La., the No. 2 quarterback in the class.
The class is smaller than usual. Programs no longer need to sign a large high school class every year, and Alabama is one of several national powers not chasing a big haul this cycle.
