Alabama Crimson Tide 2026 quarterback signee gets major boost after receiving final 5-star ranking from national outlet
Kalen DeBoer’s quarterback room looks even better now.
If we know anything about Kalen DeBoer’s Alabama Crimson Tide, it’s that the quarterback position will not only be deep but also stacked from head to toe. Keelon Russell was one of the biggest winners of the transfer portal, but what happens after him?
Well, 2026 signee Jett Thomalla just made that room look even better.

Kalen DeBoer had Jalen Milroe playing the best ball of his career at Alabama before going on to be a third-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. In 2025, Ty Simpson was playing at a Heisman level and looked like the first overall pick under Kalen DeBoer, and now we wait and see what comes from Keelon Russell under center for the Tide in 2026.
The bottom line here is that the future is bright in Tuscaloosa, and yet another five-star quarterback cements that for the Tide. With a rebuilt set of trenches in 2026 and some new players in the backfield and on the perimeter, Alabama will have to weather a treacherous storm in the middle of the SEC play, but if the team can overcome the likes of a long season, the Tide should be back where it belongs in 2026, and with another good quarterback at the helm going forward.
