5-Star offensive tackle Ty Haywood has announced his decommitment from the Alabama Crimson Tide. Haywood, a highly sought-after prospect from Texas, had been committed to Alabama for over a year but ultimately decided to reopen his recruitment.
Haywood’s decision comes as no surprise to those who have been following his recruitment closely. While he has always been complimentary of Alabama and its coaching staff, Haywood has also been open about his desire to explore all of his options. In recent weeks, he has taken official visits to several other schools, including Michigan, Texas, and Oklahoma.
Haywood cited several reasons for his decision. He thanked Alabama for the opportunity to be a part of their program but stated that he felt it was best to explore other options.
He also said that he wanted to make sure he made the best decision for himself and his family.
Haywood’s decommitment is a major blow to Alabama, which is already facing a number of challenges in its 2025 recruiting class. The Crimson Tide have lost several key recruits in recent weeks, and Haywood’s decision is only going to make it harder to keep their class together.
However, Haywood’s decommitment also presents an opportunity for other schools to land one of the top offensive tackles in the country. Michigan, Texas, and Oklahoma are all considered to be the favorites to land Haywood, but other schools are also expected to make a run at him.
Haywood is expected to take a few more official visits before making his final decision. He has said that he is not in a hurry to make a decision and that he wants to take his time and make sure he makes the right choice.
Haywood’s decommitment is a major story in the college football world and is sure to be talked about for weeks to come. It will be interesting to see where Haywood ends up and how his decision will impact the 2025 recruiting class.
