Kingston Preyear Joins Alabama’s 2028 Quarterback Class

Impactful In‑State Commitment

On Friday, July 10, Kingston Preyear flipped his commitment to Alabama, choosing the Crimson Tide over finalists Florida and Vanderbilt. The four‑star quarterback from Alexander City, Alabama, had already received an offer on Jan. 19 and was ranked No. 44 overall and No. 4 quarterback nationally by 247Sports. Preyear, who transferred from Montgomery Catholic under coach Kirk Johnson, has become a dominant force at Benjamin Russell High School.

During his sophomore season, he amassed 3,026 passing yards, 518 rushing yards, and 36 total touchdowns. He shared the field with Alabama’s incoming freshman wideout, Cederian Morgan, whom Preyear labeled a “monster” and a “freak” in a recent interview. The partnership with Morgan highlights the talent pipeline emerging from Alabama’s high‑school ranks.

Preyear’s addition gives the Crimson Tide a clear depth chart at quarterback, joining 2027 commitments such as Trent Seaborn and Elijah Haven. Kalen DeBoer’s strategy of building the offense through high‑school recruiting rather than relying solely on transfer‑portal moves is now evident with multiple signal‑callers signed for the 2026‑2028 cycles. This approach promises sustained competition and development within Alabama’s quarterback rooms.
