Alabama to Host Elite WR Recruit

Last season, Alabama football failed to win double-digit games for the first time in nearly two decades. Most notably, Alabama, led by dual-threat quarterback Jalen Milroe, failed to eclipse 20 passing touchdowns as a team.

Alabama's aerial attack hit a near program low last season despite housing wide receiver and true freshman sensation Ryan Williams. With Milroe gone and Williams returning, next year's starter will have no shortage of offensive weapons at his disposal.

The same applies in 2026, with Williams likely returning to Alabama if the transfer portal doesn't get him first. On Wednesday, reports surfaced that one elite wideout prospect in the 2026 class will visit Alabama.

On May 30th, receiver prospect Boobie Feaster will take an official visit to Alabama. Adding Feaster with Ryan Williams would likely mean Alabama has the deepest and most talented collection of wide receivers in 2026.

A speedy six-foot WR at DeSoto High School in DeSoto, Texas, Feaster was a five-star recruit in the 2027 class before reclassifying to 2026. Last season, he snagged 57 passes for 824 yards and 13 scores, while DeSoto went 11-3.

In mid-February, Feaster released his top 12 schools. Alongside Alabama, he has a list featuring LSU, Texas, Oklahoma, and Tennessee, among others. Per 247Sports, Alabama has just the 30th-ranked recruiting class for 2026.
