In a stunning development that has sent shockwaves across the college football landscape, 5-star wide receiver Jaylen Whitmore has announced his commitment to the University of Alabama. Whitmore, a top-10 national recruit in the 2025 class, was widely expected to choose between Florida, Texas, and Tennessee, but surprised fans and analysts alike by donning the crimson cap during his nationally televised commitment ceremony.
The 6-foot-2, 195-pound playmaker from Houston, Texas, has been a standout at every level of competition and was considered a heavy lean toward Florida throughout the recruitment process. Texas made a strong late push, and Tennessee was in the mix after a successful official visit. However, Alabama’s track record with NFL-bound receivers, led by head coach Kalen DeBoer and new offensive coordinator JaMarcus Shepherd, proved too strong to pass up.
“This decision came down to where I felt most prepared to win and grow as a man and athlete,” Whitmore said. “Alabama felt like home.”
Whitmore’s commitment gives the Crimson Tide one of the top 2025 recruiting classes in the nation and sends a clear message — Alabama is not going anywhere in the new era of college football.
