The Crimson Tide are among the top four offensive line targets in the 2026 class that one of Alabama’s top targets has revealed.
The Crimson Tide are the last team in the running for 4-star offensive tackle Malakai Lee, a 6-foot-6, 318-pound player from Honolulu, Hawaii. On3’s Hayes Fawcett shared his last group on social media on Saturday. In addition to Alabama, his final group consists of Georgia, Texas, and Michigan:
Lee is rated as the second-best player in the state of Hawaii and the tenth-best offensive tackle in his class by the 247 Composite. He is ranked No. 139 overall and is considered a 4-star prospect by most.
Lee watches the video. He possesses the fluid movement and all the metrics you look for in an offensive line prospect.
Because they won’t have as much room to sign as many offensive linemen as they did the previous season, Alabama is being a little more choosy in the 2026 class after signing a large class in the 2025 cycle. For some time now, Lee has been one of their main goals.
Next weekend, Lee is expected to make an official visit to Alabama.
In April, Lee already made a formal trip to Georgia. Over the coming weeks, he has representatives scheduled for the remaining three organisations vying for his services.
Alabama comes first. Lee is expected to arrive in Alabama on Friday, May 30th, the following weekend. Lee will be visiting Alabama for the second time. In March, he made an unauthorised visit.
Recruiting will be a busy month for Kalen DeBoer and the Crimson Tide. In an effort to bolster its 2026 class, Lee will be joined in Tuscaloosa this coming weekend by a number of other elite prospects.
Five-star security Although Jett Washington is the main attraction, this weekend also has official visits from other elite talents, including RB KJ Edwards, WR Boobie Feaster, DL Nolan Wilson, LB Cincere Johnson, LB Brayden Rouse, and DL Titan Davis.
Alabama is gaining a lot of momentum in the recruiting process, and DeBoer and crew were able to complete out a Top 5 class on the official visit schedule last summer. With so many elite prospects anticipated in Tuscaloosa over the course of the next month, we may witness a repetition of history this summer.
