BREAKING NEWS: 2026 No. 1 Offensive Lineman Landon Dickerson Commits to Alabama
In a monumental move for Alabama football, Landon Dickerson, the No. 1 offensive lineman in the 2026 recruiting class, has officially committed to the Alabama Crimson Tide. This commitment is one of the most significant in recent years, as Dickerson, a 6’6″, 310-pound powerhouse, is widely regarded as the top talent in his class, and his decision to join Alabama is expected to bolster the Crimson Tide’s already elite offensive line pipeline.
Over the past week, Alabama’s coaching staff, including head coach Nick Saban, made an all-out push to secure Dickerson’s commitment. The coaching staff visited the talented lineman multiple times, and their presence, combined with the program’s rich history of developing offensive line talent, seemed to make a lasting impression on Dickerson. Coaches from other top SEC schools, including Georgia and LSU, also made stops, but it was Alabama that ultimately secured the commitment of the five-star recruit.
Dickerson’s decision to choose Alabama over other heavy hitters in the SEC underscores the program’s continued dominance in recruiting and its ability to attract elite talent across the country. The Crimson Tide have long been known for their formidable offensive lines, producing top-tier NFL talent like Quinnen Williams, Landon Collins, and Jedrick Wills. Dickerson, who hails from an area known for its high school football talent, has the potential to follow in those footsteps and become a future star in Tuscaloosa.
The 2026 standout is known for his size, athleticism, and versatility. Dickerson excels in both pass protection and run blocking, using his long reach, quick feet, and raw strength to dominate defenders. His high football IQ and technical ability have drawn comparisons to some of the best offensive linemen in recent college football history.
With his commitment, Alabama has added a potential cornerstone to its offensive line for the future. Given the Crimson Tide’s track record of success and the resources available to develop top talent, Dickerson’s decision is a massive win for the program. As Alabama continues to build its recruiting class, securing a top-tier offensive lineman like Dickerson only strengthens their place as a national powerhouse, and his commitment is sure to have a ripple effect on future recruiting efforts. Expect this to be a big story as Alabama solidifies its dominance on the field and in recruiting.
