Head coach Kalen DeBoer has landed a commitment from quarterback Charles Scott Jr., and while 2028 prospects are still years away from stepping on the field, this move is still a major win for Alabama.
After visiting Crimson Tide in early April and receiving an offer the same day, the Virginia native made his decision a month later.
“It felt like home, I knew I could see myself playing there right away. All the quarterbacks came up to me, talked to me and told me it’s the place to be. They laid it all out for me. It felt so comfortable.” Scott said.
What Does Charles Scott Jr.’s Signing Mean for Alabama?
Scott becomes the first known QB player in the 2028 class, and while he’s currently rated as a mid-tier national recruit, there is still room for improvement.
The Huguenot High School standout is coming off a massive sophomore season, In the 2025 season he threw over 3,594 yards with a staggering 41 touchdowns. It’s clear why programs across the country were lining up to recruit him.
In an interview with On3 he mentioned watching former quarterbacks like Bryce Young and Jalen Milroe, signaling that he believes in the program and is ready to give his everything to the game.
How Did Alabama Land Charles Scott Jr.?
Scott emphasized the connections he built during his visit. Quarterbacks coach Bryan Ellis was an important piece in building that bond.
“We’ve been building a great bond outside of football. He makes the game easier for me and talks about my development years down the line. His knowledge and how he coaches stood out. He’s trying to become one with the player.” Scott said.
This matters a lot for younger prospects who are committing earlier in the process. Alabama didn’t just sell a program; they sold a vision to him.
Getting in early allows Alabama to build relationships, get players with huge potential, and shape the team in advance.
This shows that DeBoer is someone who not only focuses on the present but also looks towards the future. Scott may still have a long road ahead before he ever suits up to play.
