In recent years, Alabama has been able to heavily recruit in the state of Georgia. More specifically, the Tide has been able to recruit Buford High School particularly well. In the past, they have landed highly-rated prospects Jake Pope, Isaiah Bond, Seth McLaughlin, and Justice Haynes. On Sunday, 2024 five-star safety KJ Bolden released his top schools with Alabama making the list as a finalist.
Bolden is one of the premier prospects in the 2024 recruiting cycle that the Alabama coaching staff is pursuing. Considering that he was a high school teammate of Haynes, it could help Alabama’s chances of landing his commitment.
At this time, Georgia is the favorite to land Bolden at 33.8% likelihood, according to On3’s RPM.
