Alabama added a big-time prospect to its 2025 recruiting class on Sunday afternoon.
The Crimson Tide earned a commitment from 4-star linebacker Jaedon Harmon. The Georgia native chose Alabama over programs such as Clemson, Ohio State and Tennessee.
Harmon shared the news of his commitment with On3’s Hayes Fawcett:

Harmon is an elite prospect in the class of 2025. He’s the No. 177 overall player and the No. 23 linebacker in the country for that cycle, per 247Sports Composite rankings. He’s also the No. 25 player from the state of Georgia.
This is a big recruiting win for Alabama. Harmon attended Clemson’s junior day earlier this season and also recently picked up offers from Oregon and Texas A&M. Instead, he becomes one of Alabama’s highest-rated defensive players to commit so far in the class of 2025.
Overall, Harmon is the 10th player to join Alabama’s 2025 recruiting class. The group currently sits at No. 7 nationally, per 247Sports Composite rankings. Seven of Alabama’s 10 recruits so far in this cycle are 4-or-5-star prospects, per that outlet.
Harmon attends Rome High School in Rome, Georgia. He’s listed at 6-foot-1, 215 pounds.
It’s been a great first offseason for Kalen DeBoer and his staff so far in Tuscaloosa. Alabama will now presumably turn their attention to recruiting the transfer portal for the next few weeks as it gears up for the 2024 campaign. The spring transfer window opens on Monday for a 15-day period.
Fans who want to bet on Alabama during the offseason can place a bet on the Tide in the futures markets. Bet365 currently has Alabama’s regular season win total at 9.5. The Tide are also +900 to win the SEC and +1100 to win the national championship in 2024.
