A coach’s major error and a crazy Tennessee recruitment tale are revealed by a former Alabama quarterback….
A former Alabama quarterback recently shared a wild recruitment story that sheds light on both a coach’s misstep and the unpredictable nature of college football recruiting. During an interview, he revealed that a Tennessee recruiter once promised him a brand-new Dodge Charger if he committed—highlighting the lengths some programs allegedly go to secure top talent.
But the real twist came from Alabama’s side. According to the QB, a major error by an Alabama coach nearly cost them his commitment. The coach mistakenly called him by the wrong name during a key recruiting visit, confusing him with another prospect. Although the mistake was minor on the surface, it made the quarterback question how much the program really wanted him.
In the end, he still chose Alabama, driven by the program’s reputation and his connection with other staff. However, the story illustrates the chaotic behind-the-scenes world of college football recruiting—where flashy offers and human errors can make or break a team’s future.
