Kalen DeBoer's 2025 recruiting class has been in the headlines recently for a few negative reasons. First, five-star wide receiver Caleb Cunningham switched from the Tide to Ole Miss, and then four-star linebacker commit Dawson Merritt chose to change to Nebraska. That wasn't all, though.
On Sunday afternoon, four-star running back Anthony "Turbo" Rogers de-committed from Alabama after being committed since June 2023. Almost immediately following that announcement, On3's Steve Wiltfong logged a prediction for Rogers to commit to Ohio State . “I will announce my decision on Signing Day (Dec.
4),” Rogers said . “It will be between Georgia and Ohio State. I had great visits to both schools, and I will keep talking to them, praying on it, and seeing what my gut feeling is telling me.
It is something I will think a lot about in the next couple of weeks.” Will McLelland-Imagn Images Rogers has taken visits to both Ohio State and Georgia during the season. “The visit was good,” Rogers told On3 about Ohio State.
“I enjoyed the environment, and I like their offensive system. They let me know that they want me. They feel I have an opportunity to produce there with my skill set and that they could develop and help me get to the NFL.
” With the loss of Rogers, Cunningham, and Merritt, Alabama's class has fallen from No. 1 to No. 4 in the On3 Team Industry recruiting rankings after holding the No.
1 spot for a couple of weeks. The Tide has one running back commit in the 2025 class from four-star and No. 2 running back in the class, Akylin Dear.
