On Friday, the Alabama Crimson Tide were listed as one of five finalists to land a commitment from 2026 five-star safety Blaine Bradford. The other finalists were the LSU Tigers, Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Ohio State Buckeyes, and Oregon Ducks.
Bradford is ranked as the No. 1 safety in the 2026 recruiting class. He plays for Catholic High School in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Bradford is listed at 6-foot-1 and 200 pounds.
Bradford was on campus this past weekend for the end of summer cookout. That is a positive sign moving forward as the Crimson Tide look to get Bradford to leave ‘The Boot’ to come to the Yellowhammer state.
