Ryquan Butler commits to Alabama Crimson Tide

Linebacker Ryquan Butler has committed to the Alabama Crimson Tide as of July 7, 2026. Butler, a 6-foot-3, 205-pound prospect from Notasulga, Alabama, received a scholarship offer from Florida State University in June but ultimately chose Alabama. Butler's breakout performance in his sophomore season at Loachapoka High School included 54 tackles, two fumble recoveries, and offensive contributions with seven receptions for 126 yards. Florida State, which is still looking to strengthen its linebacker recruiting for 2028, has time to pursue Butler, who is among the few targets to make a commitment so far.
