Alabama football secures commitment from four-star OL Anthony Blalock Jr

Four-star offensive lineman Anthony Blalock Jr. committed to Alabama on Monday, choosing the Crimson Tide over offers from Ohio State, Penn State, and others. Blalock, who stands 6-foot-6 and weighs 315 pounds, is a top prospect from Youngstown, Ohio, and ranks as the No. 12 interior offensive lineman in the 2028 recruiting class. His decision comes shortly after Alabama secured quarterback Kingston Preyear, contributing to a strong start for Alabama's 2028 recruiting class, which now includes six commitments. The recruitment of elite players from outside Alabama continues to enhance the Crimson Tide's national standing under coach Kalen DeBoer.
