Why 4-Star DB Zyan Gibson committed to Alabama

Zyan Gibson chose Alabama over Auburn, Miami and Tennessee on Tuesday.

Gibson is one of the nation’s best 2026 cornerback prospects. He is a consensus four-star recruit with an impressive offer list next to his name.

The Crimson Tide were able to pull in a commitment from the four-star by building a relationship with him and his family through consistent contact.

“He grew up an Alabama fan, and the new staff they have with Coach DeBoer, we just built a great relationship with, GM Courtney Morgan also Coach Mo, (Maurice Linguist) the cornerback coach coach,” Gibson’s dad Michael told Touchdown Alabama.
