Breaking: Head Coach Kalen DeBoer and the Crimson Tide Set to Announce the Landing of Cederian Morgan Over the Tigers…

TUSCALOOSA, AL — In what’s shaping up to be one of the biggest recruiting wins of the offseason, Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer and the Crimson Tide are set to land elite wide receiver Cederian Morgan, beating out the Auburn Tigers and several other SEC powerhouses for the coveted prospect’s signature.

Morgan, a 5-star recruit out of Georgia, has been at the center of a fierce recruiting battle for months. The 6-foot-3, 195-pound receiver is widely regarded as one of the top pass catchers in the 2025 class, known for his blazing speed, polished route-running, and highlight-reel catches. With offers from programs like Georgia, LSU, Florida State, and Texas, his commitment represents a significant victory for DeBoer as he continues to build momentum in Tuscaloosa following the departure of legendary coach Nick Saban.

Sources close to the program indicate that Morgan made his decision after an official visit to Alabama this past weekend, where he reportedly connected with DeBoer and wide receivers coach JaMarcus Shephard on both a personal and strategic level. The visit included meetings with the Tide’s offensive staff, time with current players, and an inside look at how Morgan could be used in Alabama’s evolving offense — one that emphasizes vertical threats and explosive playmakers.

“Kalen DeBoer made it clear that Cederian would be a centerpiece of the offense from Day 1,” one insider said. “That vision, paired with Alabama’s track record of sending receivers to the NFL, made a big impression.”

Morgan’s commitment is not only a blow to Auburn — who had been seen as a serious contender and hosted Morgan for multiple visits — but also a clear signal that Alabama remains a dominant force on the recruiting trail under its new regime. DeBoer, who was hired in early 2024 after leading Washington to the College Football Playoff, has wasted little time reinforcing Alabama’s elite recruiting standards.

This decision also carries added weight given the intense rivalry between Alabama and Auburn. Hugh Freeze and the Tigers had invested heavily in Morgan’s recruitment, making him a top offensive priority. Losing him to their biggest in-state rival will undoubtedly sting on the Plains.

With Morgan now in the fold, Alabama’s 2025 class continues its ascent into top-three territory nationally. He joins a group already stacked with blue-chip talent on both sides of the ball, and his presence could help lure additional offensive playmakers looking to join a rising powerhouse.

DeBoer is expected to make the commitment official in a press conference later today alongside Morgan and his family. The announcement will likely spark a wave of celebration in Tuscaloosa — and a ripple effect across the SEC.

For Alabama fans, this is yet another sign that the future remains bright — and that the Crimson Tide are far from done.
