The post Alabama loses 4-star ATH race to surprise Big Ten challenger appeared first on ClutchPoints.
Alabama football lost out on landing a marquee four-star offensive weapon to the Big Ten Monday. Ohio State, Michigan, or Penn State would be the victors here in any other college football recruiting period. But instead a surprise Big Ten challenger beat out 'Bama.

Big 6-foot-4, 225-pound talent Roman Voss chose Minnesota over Alabama. Hayes Fawcett of On3 confirmed the Crimson Tide lost out on landing the offensive star. He becomes a brand-new recruiting loss for Tide head coach Kalen DeBoer and his coaching staff.
But he rises as a major recruiting win for Golden Gophers head coach P.J. Fleck for this reason: Voss is the No. 1 prospect in the state of Minnesota per On3. He stars for Jackson County Central Senior High School.
He's also the state's top talent per 247Sports. Fleck lands a pivotal recruiting win here for his Golden Gophers team. The combination of assistant coaches Eric Koehler and Greg Harbaugh Jr. completes the recruitment of Voss.

DeBoer and his Tide football team have witnessed a mixture of wins and losses recruiting wise. But they have collected the former against some Big Ten competition.

Voss to Minnesota rises as a brand new loss. Especially considering how rare it is for the Golden Gophers to beat Alabama for a four-star talent. Although Alabama delivered luck against another Big Ten opponent.
DeBoer and Alabama managed to flip four-star Illinois commit Javari Barnett Monday. The move adds a needed running back of the future in Tuscaloosa. Barnett previously chose the Fighting Illini back in April.
But 'Bama raided another Big Ten school's 2026 recruiting class on Monday as well. Alabama grabbed former Rutgers safety commit Rihyael Kelley.
That's not all. Michigan lost its grip on four-star defensive lineman JJ Finch to the Crimson Tide. That move arrived Sunday.

'Bama has began to climb into the top 30 in the national recruiting rankings. They now sit at 28th with 10 verbal commitments. Half chose the Tide during the month of June.

Phillies' Nick Castellanos out of Saturday's lineup vs. Yankees with left knee injury

Both the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Yankees will be without their regular right fielders for Saturday's matchup at Yankee Stadium. Aaron Judge is out of the Yankees' lineup with a right elbow injury that's made it difficult for him to throw from the outfield. The team is currently waiting for imaging results. And while it doesn't appear to be as potentially serious, Nick Castellanos will sit out Saturday's game due to a left knee injury suffered in Friday's 12-5 win over the Yankees. Castellanos jammed his left knee while running toward the right field wall to make the final out, according to Phillies manager Rob Thomson. The Phillies' right fielder batted 2-for-5 in the Phillies' win and is hitting .270/.311/.434 with 23 doubles, 13 home runs and 56 RBI. He's third among Philadelphia's regulars in homers and second in RBI.

Colorado football offers Wisconsin committed 2026 defensive lineman

Colorado football extended an offer to class of 2026 defensive lineman and Wisconsin commit Djidjou Bah on Friday. Bah committed to the Badgers on June 1 but seems to be open to a possible change of heart after visiting Missouri on June 20. The Buffaloes became the 25th program to offer the three-star lineman. 247Sports ranks Bah as the No. 92 defensive lineman in the class of 2026 and the No. 21 recruit from his home state of Tennessee. Colorado and head coach Deion Sanders have been after multiple committed prospects recently as the program tries to boost its 80th-ranked class. According to Bah's offer announcement, Colorado's defensive line coach, Domata Peko, is Bah's primary contact, which could go a long way towards a possible flip. Peko was one of the better defensive linemen during his era, and the idea of playing for him was a definite lure for recruits. Follow Charlie Strella on X, Threads and Instagram.
