Overview
- Preyear announced his commitment to the Crimson Tide on Friday, July 10, choosing Alabama over Florida and Vanderbilt.
- He privately told Alabama of his decision on June 28 after a phone call with quarterbacks coach Ryan Ellis and a follow-up call that included head coach Kalen DeBoer.
- The decision followed a mid-June on-campus workout where coaches offered a clear development plan and playing assurances that swung Preyear’s recruitment away from Florida.
- Preyear is a four-star, in-state prospect who threw for roughly 3,026 yards, 34 touchdowns and five interceptions in 2025 and ranks among the top quarterbacks in the 2028 cycle.
- His commitment strengthens Alabama’s early 2028 class, adds depth to a quarterback room built through recruiting rather than the transfer portal, and positions Preyear to help recruit other in-state targets.
