Alabama football landed its first wide receiver of the 2026 recruiting class on Monday. Owen Cabell committed to the Crimson Tide, continuing Kalen DeBoer and his staff’s recent run of success.

According to the 247Sports Composite rankings, the 6-foot-1, 175-pounder is the No. 177 overall player and No. 16 safety in the country, although Michigan is recruiting him as a cornerback. He took official visits to Michigan and Kentucky this month before making his decision.
