Alabama secures commitment from 2028 defender Dustin Henry
Summary

The Alabama Crimson Tide recently added a significant commitment to their 2028 recruiting class by securing linebacker Dustin Henry. Originally a class of 2029 recruit, Henry reclassified after his freshman year, joining quarterback Charles Scott as part of Alabama's 2028 roster. This recruitment comes following a productive weekend that also saw Alabama landing 2027 four-star running back Nigel Newkirk. Henry’s size, athleticism, and playing background suggest he could be a valuable asset for Alabama’s defense in the future. With two years remaining in high school, his commitment signals Alabama's strong focus on building a competitive squad for upcoming seasons.
