In a surprising move, , one of Alabama’s most promising 2027 recruits, has officially decommitted from the Crimson Tide. The Moody native broke the news to 247Sports and took to social media to share a heartfelt message.
“I love the Bama family,” Willis wrote on Wednesday. “Please respect my decision.”
Willis, a top-tier prospect ranked No. 57 overall in the 2027 class by the 247Sports Composite, had been committed to Alabama since July. Regarded as the No. 9 edge defender and the No. 4 player in Alabama, his decommitment shakes up the recruiting landscape.
But Willis isn’t short on options. He’s already fielding offers from powerhouse programs like Arkansas, Auburn, Florida State, and—most recently—Miami, which extended an offer just hours before his announcement.
This news comes as Alabama gears up for its second year under head coach Kalen DeBoer. Despite losing Willis, the Crimson Tide has been on fire, boasting the No. 2 recruiting class during the early signing period and currently ranked No. 4 overall by 247Sports.
Alabama fans are still processing the unexpected news after a season that ended 9-4, capped by a disappointing loss in the ReliaQuest Bowl. One thing is certain: Willis’ next move will be closely watched.
Who’s next to step up, and where will Willis land? Stay tuned—this story is just heating up.
