Alabama has assembled what most would believe to be the top offensive line class in the country right now.<\/p>\n
They hold five commitments from the three different positions along the o-line: Mal Waldrep<\/a><\/strong> (center), Micah DeBose<\/a><\/strong> (guard), Michael Carroll<\/a><\/strong> (guard), Jackson Lloyd<\/a><\/strong> (tackle), and Ty Haywood<\/a><\/strong> (tackle). Haywood is the highest-ranked member of that group (and Bama\u2019s entire class), and joined forces with the Tide on July 14.<\/p>\n Haywood plays for Ryan High School in Denton, Texas, but was born in Mississippi. He\u2019s a lifelong Alabama fan, with one side of a wall in his room dedicated specifically to Bama gear. And while his May 31 \u2013 June 2 official visit was his only trip to the school, it checked off all the boxes.<\/p>\n \u201cI would say just me walking into the facilities, it was like walking into a dream,\u201d Haywood told BOL when reflecting on his visit. \u201cYou\u2019ve never been there before but once you finally step into the place, it\u2019s amazing. The people, all of that. The thing with my mom\u2026 basically, we were taking pictures and she saw me. She finally realized why it was my dream school. We had a little moment. That\u2019s another thing that sold me [on Bama], too \u2013 My mom.\u201d<\/p>\n At the next level, Haywood will be blocking for a pair of four-star running backs in Akylin Dear<\/a><\/strong> and Anthony Rogers<\/a><\/strong>, and Keelon Russell<\/a><\/strong>, the No. 3 quarterback in the Class of 2025. <\/p>\n WATCH: 5-star Bama QB pledge talks 2025 class, future of the Tide<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n He\u2019s looking forward to teaming up alongside his future teammates in the o-line group as well. <\/p>\n \u201cI feel like we\u2019re the top offensive line [class],\u201d Haywood said. \u201cThey\u2019ve got me, obviously. They\u2019ve got [Mal] Waldrep, [Micah] DeBose, and some more good players. All good players. All of us together, we can make a great o-line. \u2018Ice Wall\u2019 is what they call it.\u201d<\/p>\n Alabama is off to a 2-0 start in the Kalen DeBoer<\/a><\/strong> era, and checks in with the No. 2 recruiting class in the country. There is a lot of optimism as it pertains to the future of the program, with Haywood sharing his thoughts on Bama going forward. <\/p>\n \u201cI say the future still holds great news for Bama. The Tide is still rolling right now,\u201d Haywood said. \u201cThey shut out Western Kentucky 63-0. Hopefully, we can keep that going. O-line is looking good. Everybody is looking good so far. Right now, we\u2019re doing a pretty good job.\u201d<\/p>\n Have you subscribed to BamaOnLine.com yet? You can sign up for ONE YEAR of premium access to our Alabama coverage for 50 PERCENT OFF!
