One of the most versatile and dynamic recruits in the 2026 class, 4-star athlete Roman Voss has officially named Alabama as one of his finalists, sending shockwaves through the recruiting world. Voss, who excels on both sides of the ball as a wide receiver and defensive back, has been on the radar of nearly every major program in the country. With elite speed, fluid athleticism, and a high football IQ, he’s widely regarded as a game-changer at the collegiate level.
Voss announced his finalists via social media on Tuesday, listing Alabama alongside Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Ohio State. While all of these programs have a strong case, Alabama’s recent push — including visits from top coaches and a glowing official visit — seems to have left a lasting impression.
“The culture, the development, the winning mentality — it’s different down there,” Voss said during an interview. “Coach DeBoer and the staff made me feel like a priority.”
Alabama’s tradition of turning elite athletes into NFL-ready stars plays a major role in Voss’s interest. The Tide have had success with multi-position players before, and Voss could thrive under their system, whether on offense, defense, or special teams.
Recruiting analysts say Alabama is now in a strong position to land Voss, who plans to make his final decision before his senior season begins. If the Tide can seal the deal, they’ll be adding another elite weapon to an already stacked 2026 recruiting class.
