The Alabama Crimson Tide landed their second commitment in two days. On Sunday, 2026 four-star cornerback Dorian Barney announced his commitment to the Crimson Tide. 2026 four-star safety Jamarrion Gordon committed to Alabama on Saturday.
Barney plays for Peachtree Ridge High School in Suwanee, Georgia. He is listed at 6-foot-1 and 170 pounds. Barney chose the Crimson Tide over other programs like Georgia Bulldogs, Florida State Seminoles, South Carolina, and USC Trojans.
Barney had an impressive sophomore season for the Lions. He recorded 32 tackles, two tackles for loss, and four interceptions.
Alabama now has commitments from two defensive backs in the 2026 class. It will be interesting to see if any other prospects commit to the Crimson Tide in the near future.
Roll Tide Wire will continue to follow the latest regarding the Alabama football news and the program’s efforts on the recruiting trail.
Paul Finebaum is one of the most recognizable figures around the SEC with his daily sports show airing on the SEC Network. Finebaum is best known for his very brass and somewhat colorful opinions on coaches within the conference. With Nick Saban retiring as the Alabama Crimson Tide head coach, Kalen DeBoer steps in, providing Finebaum with a new target.
Since DeBoer took over in January, Finebaum has had the opportunity to speak with him on a couple of different occasions but did not formerly meet him until last week at the Regions Tradition Pro-Am where a sit-down interview was conducted.
On Monday while joining the Birmingham radio show “McElroy & Cubelic in the Morning“, Finebaum provided his impressions of the new Crimson Tide head coach.
