Decision date set for elite 2026 Gadsden City (AL) CB Zyan Gibson, Alabama among finalists
The 2026 Alabama recruiting class recently faced a shift as four-star defensive lineman Vodney Cleveland from Parker High School reopened his recruitment after initially committing to the Crimson Tide on October 31. Cleveland, who had several offers from SEC programs, communicated his decision in a conversation with Bama247’s Brett Greenberg, expressing admiration for Alabama’s coach Freddie Roach. He acknowledged that he felt he had rushed his initial commitment and wanted to ensure he made the best choice for his future. Despite Cleveland’s withdrawal, Alabama’s coaching staff is presented with an opportunity to strengthen their recruitment efforts as four-star cornerback Zyan Gibson from Gadsden City prepares to announce his decision on December 17. Gibson, ranked as the No. 94 overall prospect and No. 10 cornerback nationally, has narrowed his options to Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee, and Miami. With a week remaining until Gibson’s commitment, Alabama remains a contender for another significant in-state talent. The evolving dynamics of the recruiting class underscore the fluid nature of college football recruitment, as prospects reassess their options to find the right fit for their growth and development.
