Alabama football adds 2027 in-state commitment from Stafford Willis
Summary

Stafford Willis, a three-star offensive lineman from Arab, Alabama, has committed to Alabama football for the 2027 recruiting class. He chose Alabama over offers from schools like UCLA and South Carolina. Willis is the first offensive lineman to join the 2027 class and is the third in-state commitment following quarterback Trent Seaborn and defensive lineman Avrian Pauley. He brings versatility to the offensive line, having played both tackle positions in high school, though he is expected to transition to an interior role at the collegiate level. His commitment marks the beginning of the Adrian Klemm era as Alabama’s new offensive line coach.
