Don’t look now, but Alabama is back up among the elite recruiting programs for the class of 2024. After a slow start to the recruiting cycle, the Crimson Tide has risen fast in the national recruiting rankings<\/a> over the last couple of weeks. Now they’re in the top-five teams in the nation.<\/p>\n

Over the weekend, they got a commitment from another blue-chip recruit. This time it was Carrollton (Ga.) four-star tight end Caleb Odom.<\/p>\n

Odom (6-foot-5, 215 pounds) had offers from 30 other programs<\/a>, including Auburn, Florida, Miami and Texas A&M. Asked why he picked Alabama, Odom told Hayes Fawcett at On3<\/a> their history was a big factor.<\/p>\n

“Honestly it was a place I saw myself being able to fit in at and being able to be developed easily. I built a great relationship with every coach on the staff, especially coach Cox. And the history of Bama is a big factor, the team is a dynasty and has a history of winning.”<\/p>\n

Going by the 247Sports composite rankings, Odom is No. 4 among tight ends, No. 11 in the state of Georgia<\/a> and No. 64 nationally in the class of 2024.<\/p>\n

That makes 14 hard commits<\/a> for Alabama’s class of 2024, which has risen to No. 5 in the nation.<\/p>\n
