Alabama Gains Commitment from Arkel Anugwom

Alabama Crimson Tide has secured a commitment from offensive lineman Arkel Anugwom, a transfer from Ball State, who will have three years of eligibility remaining. Anugwom, standing 6-foot-6 and weighing 325 pounds, made one start for the Cardinals and played all his snaps at left tackle during the 2024 season. This addition marks the sixth player Alabama has signed from the transfer portal this cycle, alongside a top-ranked recruiting class. Meanwhile, Florida State Seminoles are actively pursuing Ty Haywood, a five-star offensive lineman currently committed to Alabama, as they look to bolster their 2026 recruiting class. Haywood, who has yet to sign with Alabama, is considered the No. 18 overall prospect in the 2025 class and has garnered interest from Michigan and Texas Tech as well. Florida State’s new coaching staff is attempting to sway Haywood ahead of the traditional National Signing Day on February 5.
