As both CJ Dippre and Robbie Ouzts have moved on, Alabama will be relying on multiple tight ends to emerge in 2025, with Lewis as one of the biggest names in that conversation to do so. Should he do that as well, then Lewis would be set for career-high's in receiving, which he has not done much so far at Alabama, while also playing a key role as a blocking tight end.
Expect that breakout season to come for Lewis also, and for the Alabama tight end to emerge as a pass catcher in particular this fall.

Bucks Make Major Mark Sears Announcement
Bucks Make Major Mark Sears Announcement originally appeared on Athlon Sports. In 112 seasons, the Alabama Crimson Tide basketball program has had just three All-Americans. Of the trio, only one has made multiple All-America teams: guard Mark Sears. Advertisement Following the 2022 season, in which Alabama posted an uninspiring 19-14 record under third-year head coach Nate Oats, the Crimson Tide turned to the transfer portal for an immediate fix. Alabama came away with a 6-foot-1 guard from the Ohio Bobcats, with many questioning how the All-MAC honoree would transition to the SEC. Sears would go on to spend three seasons with the Tide, during which the SEC power won nine March Madness games. Sears made his first All-American team in 2023-24, making the second team after scoring a career high 21.5 points per game. Last season, Sears vaulted to All-American first-team while guiding Alabama to a second straight Elite 8 berth.

The All-SEC guard went undrafted, but didn't last long on the open market, with the Milwaukee Bucks signing him following the conclusion of the final round. Advertisement On Thursday, the Eastern Conference club made it official, signing him on a Two-Way deal. Sears will look to carve out a role with a Milwaukee team featuring former NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo. Alongside Sears, the Bucks will have Kevin Porter Jr., Vasilije Micic, AJ Green, Jamaree Bouyea, and former UConn Huskies star Andre Jackson Jr. at the point guard position.

Alabama Receives Exciting Update on 5-Star EDGE
Alabama Receives Exciting Update on 5-Star EDGE originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The consensus around the Alabama Crimson Tide football program this summer is that they will be just fine under head coach Kalen DeBoer. Advertisement Last season, Alabama posted a 9-4 record, and although impressive on the surface, they failed to win double-digit games for the first time since 2017. The Crimson Tide lost two of their final three games, while missing the College Football Playoff field for the second time in three seasons. Many fans and pundits alike questioned DeBoer, the successor to six-time national championship-winning frontman Nick Saban. However, Alabama and DeBoer have done a great job silencing the haters this offseason, specifically with their development of the 2026 recruiting class. Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Kalen DeBoer talks to wide receiver Germie Bernard (5).Gary Cosby Jr.-Imagn Images According to 247Sports, Alabama boasts the sixth-best recruiting class for the 2026 group, securing hard commitments from 12 prospects in the last month. More notably, the Tide are nowhere near done, with elite prospects likely on the horizon. Advertisement On Thursday, uncommitted five-star edge rusher Anthony "Tank" Jones revealed his final three schools, with the Crimson Tide making the list. Jones is also considering the Texas A&M Aggies and the Oregon Ducks. The seventh-ranked edge rusher and a five-star in the 247COMPOSITE, Jones is a 6-foot-4, 240-pound pass rusher from Mobile, Alabama. The Tide are looking to keep Jones instate after posting 84 tackles, 18 tackles for loss, and 16 sacks last year. If DeBoer and his staff can land Jones, he will be the team's second five-star verbal commit for 2026, joining edge Xavier Griffin. The Alabama Crimson Tide also houses pledges from fellow pass rushers Jamarion Matthews and Kamhariyan Johnson, signifying a desire to possess a war chest of edge defenders.

BOOM! Ohio State football lands 4-star quarterback for 2026 recruiting class
Finally, mercifully, the Ohio State football program has found its long-sought-after quarterback for the 2026 recruiting cycle. The Buckeyes' struggles in gaining a commitment in the cycle could be because they are so solid in the room for the next few years with five-star prospect Julian Sayin, returning combatant Lincoln Kienholz, and another five-star freshman Tavien St.-Clair all in the fold. Still, as we have seen in the past, especially in the age of Name, Image and Likeness, loose transfer rules, and now direct revenue payments, you can never have too many quarterbacks. The news may not be the splash of quarterback commitments in the past, but Ohio State has been very good at identifying and developing talent at the position, so there must be something there to work with. Advertisement Out of Mission Viejo, California, Fahey is ranked as the No. 25 quarterback and 357th overall recruit in the class according to the 247Sports Composite rankings. He's only 6-foot, 180 pounds, so he'll likely need to get into the weight room and be an option a couple of seasons down the road. Fahey was a late effort by the Buckeyes after all of their other higher-profile targets committed elsewhere, with Fahey choosing Ohio State over Stanford and Indiana. He makes the 20th commitment in the OSU recruiting class.
