Alabama football is staying busy on the recruiting trail, and next up on their radar is Brayden Rouse, a highly touted 4-star linebacker from Texas. Rouse just announced he’ll be making his official visit to Tuscaloosa from May 30 to June 1.
Standing at 6-foot-3 and weighing 210 pounds, Rouse is a beast on both sides of the ball. As a junior, he racked up 111 tackles, 3.5 sacks, and an interception on defense while also hauling in 30 receptions for nearly 400 yards and eight touchdowns on offense. Though he’s projected to play linebacker at the next level, his versatility makes him a huge asset.
Alabama isn’t the only school in the mix—he’s already visited Tennessee and Georgia and holds offers from Miami, Auburn, Florida State, and several other powerhouse programs.
With just three commitments so far for the 2026 class, Alabama is looking to load up on talent this spring and summer. Rouse’s visit comes as part of a busy recruiting stretch, with other top prospects like KJ Ford, Nolan Wilson, and Jonaz Walton also expected on campus that same weekend. If things go well, Alabama could be adding another elite defender to its future lineup.
