Alabama to Welcome Top 2026 Wide Receiver Prospect for Visit
The University of Alabama football program continues to make significant strides in its 2026 recruiting efforts, with a notable upcoming visit from one of the nation’s top wide receiver prospects. Somourian Wingo, a 6-foot-2, 180-pound standout from St. Augustine, Florida, has named Alabama among his top five schools and is scheduled to visit Tuscaloosa on June 13, 2025.
Recruitment Overview
Wingo’s impressive high school career has garnered attention from several prominent programs. In addition to Alabama, his top five includes Miami, South Carolina, Florida, and LSU. As a junior, Wingo recorded 71 receptions for over 1,100 yards and 14 touchdowns, leading his team to an 11-2 record and a berth in the state semifinals.
This upcoming visit to Alabama is a crucial opportunity for the Crimson Tide coaching staff to showcase their program and facilities to Wingo. The visit will allow Alabama to strengthen its relationship with the prospect and potentially sway his decision in their favor.
Coaching Staff’s Role
Under the guidance of head coach Kalen DeBoer, Alabama has been actively engaging with top-tier recruits for the 2026 class. The coaching staff’s efforts to build strong relationships with prospects like Wingo are indicative of the program’s commitment to securing elite talent.

Impact on Alabama’s Recruiting Class
Securing a commitment from a player of Wingo’s caliber would significantly bolster Alabama’s 2026 recruiting class. Currently, the Crimson Tide have commitments from cornerbacks Zyan Gibson and Jorden Edmonds, edge rushers Jamarion Matthews and Kamhariyan Johnson, and offensive lineman Chris Booker. Adding a top-tier wide receiver would diversify the class and address key positional needs.
As Alabama prepares to host Somourian Wingo, the program’s proactive approach to recruiting and relationship-building is evident. The upcoming visit represents a pivotal moment in the 2026 recruiting cycle, with the potential to secure a commitment from one of the nation’s premier wide receiver prospects. The outcome of this visit could have lasting implications for Alabama’s offensive strategy and recruiting success in the coming years.
