No. 1 Tight End In California Announces Commitment To SEC Powerhouse

Four-star tight end recruit Kaleb Edwards announced his commitment to Alabama on Tuesday. The 6-foot-6, 245-pound tight end committed to the Crimson Tide over Oregon, Texas, and Auburn.

Edwards, a native of El Dorado Hills, California, finished his junior year at Oak Ridge High School with 828 receiving yards and seven touchdowns on 44 total receptions. Over the past two seasons, Edwards recorded 1,456 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns.

Edwards is the No. 140 overall prospect and No. 6 tight end in the class of 2025. He ranks as the No. 1 tight end and No. 13 player in California, according to the On3 industry rankings .

Following Edwards' commitment, Alabama's 2025 recruiting class ranks No. 2 nationally and No. 1 in the SEC. Edwards is the sixth prospect from California to commit to the Crimson Tide.

The Crimson Tide have 22 commitments in the 2025 recruiting class, headlined by five-star cornerback Dijon Lee and four-star ATH Darrell Johnson.

The commitment from Edwards gives new Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer more offensive firepower as he takes over in Tuscaloosa following Nick Saban's retirement.
