As Alabama football turns its attention to the 2026 recruiting class, the Crimson Tide lost one of its three commitments in the 2027 class.

Ba’Roc Willis, a 2027 recruit, has decommitted from Alabama football, he told 247Sports. “A love Bama Fam,” Willis wrote on social media Wednesday. “Please respect my decision.” Willis is from Moody and had been committed to the Crimson Tide since July.

Alabama football has shifted responsibilities on its 2025 defensive coaching staff.

Much of the college football world already knew about 2026 IMG Academy defensive lineman Preston Carey when Alabama extended its offer.
