Derek Zammit snagged an offer from Alabama football earlier this week and is excited to visit the Crimson Tide in the future.
Zammit is a 2026 four-star quarterback out of DePaul Catholic High School in New Jersey. He holds previous offers from Kansas State, Syracuse, Tulane and others.
His offer from the Crimson Tide is one he is grateful to have earned.
“Means a lot that they have enough confidence in me to offer, obviously coming from a place like that,” Zammit said.
Alabama’s quarterbacks coach Nick Sheridan has been working to build a relationship with Zammit.
The rest of the Tide’s coaching staff should have an opportunity to meet him in person this spring.
“I have been talking with Coach Sheridan for a while, and we’ve started to develop a good relationship,” Zammit told Touchdown Alabama. “Looking forward to hopefully meeting the rest of the coaches in the spring.”
The success Alabama has enjoyed for more than a decade is not lost on Zammit. It is one of many reasons he is pump to visit Tuscaloosa.
“It is obviously a powerhouse and a great place,” said Zammit. “I’m excited to get down.”
The 6-foot, 190-pounder finished his junior season with 2,582 passing yards, 35 passing touchdowns, 560 rushing yards and six touchdowns. He flashed an ability to throw the football on the run from different angles along with comfort in the pocket to work down his reads.
Alabama currently does not have a 2026 quarterback commit, but it is showing it wants to add at least one signal-caller to its 2026 class.

Georgia Bulldogs' Nike Pro Combat Uniforms Ranked Among Most Ambitious Jerseys
The Georgia Bulldogs' Nike Pro Combat Uniforms have been recognized as one of the most ambitious alternative uniforms in college football. College Football is home to many iconic traditions that help make the sport so recognizable amongst fans. One of the biggest traditions in the sport is the numerous jersey styles that help a team stand out and create its own identity. While most teams traditionally have a home and away jersey, an alternative jersey is sometimes introduced to provide fans and players with a new look for their favorite team. Some of these jerseys are loved by all, while others can miss the mark and live in college football infamy. One of the uniform combinations likely to live in infamy is the Georgia Bulldogs Nike Pro Combat jerseys. According to ESPN, the Dawgs' alternate uniforms were ranked as some of the "most ambitious" alternate uniforms in college football history. The uniform combination featured a red jersey and red pants with untraditional lettering, and a silver helmet that had a large red stripe down the middle. The uniform was a part of Nike's "Pro Combat Series" and was a part of a handful of alternate jerseys the athletic company created for a select list of schools. Georgia donned these jerseys in the season opener of 2011 against Boise State and were widely criticized for what many labeled a "gaudy" and "untraditional" look. To make matters worse, the Dawgs would end up losing the game 35-21. The Bulldogs have not worn the jerseys since their 2011 opener and have strayed from their traditional Red and Black combo just a handful of times in the previous few seasons. The most recent instance took place during the 2020 Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl when Georgia featured its iconic "blackout" uniforms in a win over the Cincinnati Beacats.
Dodgers Facing Trade Decision After Blake Snell News
Left-handed starting pitcher Blake Snell is in his tenth major-league season after making his debut with the Tampa Bay Rays in 2016. Snell spent time with the San Diego Padres, then signed a deal with the San Francisco Giants after the 2023 season, which he later opted out of to enter free agency in 2024. The 32-year-old veteran signed a five-year, $182 million contract this offseason with the Los Angeles Dodgers after an exceptional 2024 campaign. Snell earned such a lucrative contract thanks to his outstanding career to date, which includes two Cy Young Awards and an All-Star appearance. Over 213 career starts, he owns a 77–58 record, a 3.18 ERA and 1,372 strikeouts. Snell was placed on the injured list on April 6 (retroactive to April 3) with left shoulder inflammation after experiencing discomfort during a bullpen session; he had made only two starts for the Dodgers before the injury. After four minor-league rehab outings, manager Dave Roberts announced on Sunday that Snell is expected to rejoin the rotation next week. With his return looming, the Dodgers have decided to shift to a six-man rotation but now face a decision on right-hander Dustin May’s roster status. May returned to a full-time starting role for the first time in two seasons and has struggled. On Sunday against the Boston Red Sox, May allowed four runs in five innings of work, and he entered the start with an ERA of 4.73. May’s name has surfaced in trade rumors, and he is a candidate to potentially be moved to the bullpen. He is an unrestricted free agent at the end of this season.
New report suggests Christian Wilkins release related to 'incident' with teammate
There may be more to Christian Wilkins’ recent surprise release from the Las Vegas Raiders. NFL reporter Josina Anderson reported Saturday that "some sources believe an incident involving a teammate may have factored in-part into the Raiders' fatigue and release" of Wilkins. The nature of the incident is not clear. However, many believe the Raiders had a very good reason to move on from Wilkins considering the money they had invested in him. It also suggests the Raiders saw no alternative if they went straight to a release. Wilkins was dumped by the Raiders just one year into a four-year, $110 million deal. The Raiders suggested Wilkins failed to take rehab seriously as he tries to work his way back from a foot injury. Other teams do not appear to have the same concerns about Wilkins as the Raiders did, and he should find a new landing spot fairly easily. That is one of the reasons some suspect there is more to the Raiders’ decision than they are publicly saying.
Yankees’ Trade Deadline Predictions: 2 moves to restock barren pitching staff
The Yankees hold the top Wild Card spot in the American League, and while they’re fading fast in the American League East standings, they just need one good week to gain some momentum. Part of that momentum has to come with deadline additions to the pitching staff, as Brian Cashman has loaded New York’s offense with a solid pair of infielders in Ryan McMahon and Amed Rosario. Neither player will get MVP votes, but they’re dramatic upgrades over what the team had in Oswald Peraza and Jorbit Vivas, who combined for a -0.8 fWAR this season. McMahon’s presence has already been felt with the glove, and in this article, we’re going to predict a pair of trades the Yankees could make at this year’s trade deadline to reinforce their pitching staff with impact pitchers. To clarify; these are PREDICTIONS, not sourced information declaring the Yankees as frontrunners to acquire any of these two players. Yankees’ Revisit Trade Partner for Lockdown Versatile Bullpen Weapon COL Receives: 2B Roc Riggio and RHP Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reported last night that the Yankees are interested in Rockies’ reliever Jake Bird, and he fits the mold of pitcher that Brian Cashman likes to target at the trade deadline. He’s not the flashy headline-grabbing name that Jhoan Duran is, but he provides a good amount of whiffs and tons of groundballs, with the 4.05 ERA being a mirage. Not only is that mark still 16% better than average when adjusting for park environments, but he sports a 3.09 FIP and 3.34 xERA as well. Bird has a .352 BABIP allowed which is inflated by the Rockies’ league-worst defense according to Defensive Runs Saved (-61), and also inflated by his home ballpark. People might be worried about his performance away from Coors Field this season, but it’s likely that the changing pitch shapes as he goes back and forth from high altitude is affecting that, and if he pitched for the Yankees I wouldn’t be worried. He’s also coming from a bottom-of-the-barrel development organization for pitching to one of the best; his already dynamic repertoire could get even better in the Bronx. Jake Bird’s 116 Stuff+ is the highest single-season mark for any Rockies’ pitcher since the metric was first tracked in 2020, meaning his pitch mix is ridiculously nasty. Yankees Land Groundball Machine From Cardinals In Three-Player Swap STL Receives: C Rafael Flores and RHP Ben Hess With a year and a half of control left, the St. Louis Cardinals probably wouldn’t shut the door on trade talks for LHP JoJo Romero, who has quietly been one of the best southpaws in baseball. His 2.12 ERA and 52.9% GB% would provide a nice addition to the bullpen, making Tim Hill the second-best lefty in their reliever group which is a brilliant reflection of their newfound depth. Romero is in the 93rd Percentile in xERA (2.75) due to a dominant sinker-slider combination that can pick up whiffs or induce soft contact on the ground. His changeup is nasty against right-handed batters, and he can mix in a four-seamer at the top of the zone as well to keep righties honest. The Yankees would suddenly boast an elite bullpen, as when they get Fernando Cruz back, they would have six late-inning options who can reliably get outs and deliver clean outings. Luke Weaver needs to get things rolling, but his stuff and command are starting to get back to normal, while Tim Hill and Devin Williams have been dominant since June 1st. Fernando Cruz had been the team’s best strikeout arm, and the combination of Jake Bird and JoJo Romero provide groundballs and whiffs to the backend of the bullpen. If the rotation can import Luis Gil and Ryan Yarbrough from the injured list, they could push someone such as Will Warren into a bullpen role, and Jack Curry of YES Network hinted at Cam Schlittler being able to do so as well. Ryan Yarbrough sliding back to the bullpen could happen as well, a role where he can provide long relief or get some tough outs with that nasty changeup. These two moves wouldn’t qualify as “making headlines”, but in combination with what they did for their infield and bench, it directly addresses the Yankees’ needs and puts them in prime position to go on a deep playoff run.
