4-Star QB commits to Washington over Alabama

Derek Zammit announced a verbal commitment to Washington Saturday, choosing the Huskies over Alabama, Syracuse and Mississippi State.

Zammit is a four-star 2026 quarterback out of New Jersey.

The Crimson Tide offered him in February.

Alabama football remains without a quarterback commit in the 2026 recruiting class with Zammit’s decision. The Crimson Tide looks to be facing an uphill battle while attempting to land a quarterback during this recruiting cycle after landing Keelon Russell in the 2025 cycle.
