​According to Hayes Fawcett of Rivals, the Alabama Crimson Tide have reportedly secured a major commitment from 2028 quarterback Kingston Preyear. An in-state prospect for Alabama, Preyear stands as the Tide’s fifth pledge in the 2028 cycle and the second signal-caller in the group, joining three-star quarterback Charles Scott Jr. from Huguenot, Virginia. Previously, Alabama had announced its status as a finalist for Preyear’s attested commitment, with Florida and Vanderbilt also in the running.
At present, Preyear holds the position of the top-rated prospect in Alabama’s 2028 class. He is ranked as the No. 44 overall player in the 2028 cycle and the No. 4 quarterback nationally in the 247Sports Composite rankings. The four-star recruit also sits as the No. 3 player in the state of Alabama, where he attends Benjamin Russell High School. Notably, Benjamin Russell is the same program that produced current Crimson Tide freshman wide receiver Cederian Morgan, linking Preyear to a program with recent Tide success at the college level.
Preyear’s commitment has propelled Alabama’s 2028 class to the No. 1 national ranking in the 247Sports composite, with five total commits. Among those five, two hail from Alabama: Preyear and linebacker commit Ryquan Butler, who joined the fold in the same class and signals Alabama’s strong in-state pipeline as it builds its roster for the near future. The news underscores Alabama’s continued emphasis on identifying and securing top-tier quarterback talent early in the cycle, as well as maintaining a robust presence in the Southeastern talent pool.
