Alabama Receives Unfortunate Recruiting Update on Five-Star WR

The Alabama Crimson Tide have been putting together a strong offseason, led by head coach Kalen DeBoer, where they have secured a strong amount of talent for future seasons.

Of course, one of the most prominent ways they've done this is with high school recruits and, as of now, have received five total commitments in the class of 2026 for a group that ranks No. 4 in the SEC and No. 8 in the nation.

One player they've been trending toward is wide receiver Cederian Morgan out of Alexander City, Alabama, with Steve Wiltfong of On3 even logging an expert prediction for him to land with the Crimson Tide.

However, after a visit with the Colorado Buffaloes, Morgan stated, "They got a great shot. That was my first time being there. I really enjoyed it," showing he's not yet completely set on Alabama.

Of course, no matter who lands him will be getting a very highly-touted prospect, as On3 Industry Rankings place him as a five-star recruit, the No. 2 wide receiver and the No. 19 player in the nation.

It's not as though Alabama and Colorado are the only teams going after him either, as he also has offers from Florida, Georgia, Clemson, Ohio State, Penn State and Ole Miss.

In his two seasons at the varsity level for Benjamin Russell High School, Morgan has appeared in 23 games and accumulated 106 receptions, 1,784 yards and 18 touchdowns.

Now, it will remain to be seen if Alabama can officially land him, or if he has set his sights on another program, with his official commitment announcement set for July 2.
