Nation’s top prospect to reportedly visit Alabama in September
Only a few weeks after including the Alabama Crimson Tide in his Top 7, AJ Dybantsa will now reportedly be visiting Tuscaloosa in the future according to ESPN’s Paul Biancardi. According to Biancardi, Alabama is one of six different visits that Dybantsa has scheduled, with the top prospect visit to Tuscaloosa set to take place from September 27-29. Dybantsa has also reportedly scheduled visits to Kansas State, Kansas, North Carolina, Baylor, and BYU around that same time frame. An elite prospect, Dybantsa is considered as the nation’s No. 1 overall player in the 2025 class according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, as well as the top small forward nationally. The five-star prospect is also the top player in the state of Utah where he attends Utah Prep. This news of scheduled visits comes nearly two weeks after the nation’s top prospect released an initial list of his Top 7 schools. The lone program from that Top 7 in which Dybantsa reportedly did not schedule a visit is Auburn.
