Breaking News: Cornerback Jaydin Broadnax Decommits from West Boca Raton, Commits to Alabama Over Tennessee and Michigan
In a dramatic recruiting twist, Jaydin Broadnax, one of the top cornerbacks in the 2026 class, has decommitted from West Boca Raton High School and announced his commitment to the Alabama Crimson Tide. Broadnax, known for his elite coverage skills and playmaking ability, chose Alabama over Tennessee and Michigan in a move that further solidifies the Crimson Tide’s dominance on the recruiting trail.
Standing 6’0″ and weighing 185 pounds, Broadnax has been a standout on the field, showcasing exceptional speed, ball-hawking instincts, and physicality that make him a perfect fit for Alabama’s storied defensive system. He has drawn comparisons to former Alabama greats like Marlon Humphrey and Trevon Diggs.
“Alabama offers everything I’m looking for: elite coaching, a winning culture, and the chance to compete against the best every day,” Broadnax said during his announcement. “Coach Kalen DeBoer and the staff have shown me how I can thrive in their system, and I’m ready to contribute to the legacy in Tuscaloosa.”
Broadnax’s decision to flip his commitment to Alabama is a significant blow to Tennessee and Michigan, both of which had been in the running to secure his talents. For the Crimson Tide, his addition is another major win for their 2026 recruiting class, which is shaping up to be one of the best in the nation.
Known for his versatility and competitive edge, Broadnax is expected to make an immediate impact in Alabama’s secondary, continuing the program’s tradition of producing NFL-ready defensive backs. His decision further cements Alabama’s reputation as a destination for the nation’s top talent.
Stay tuned for more updates as the Crimson Tide continue to dominate on the recruiting trail and add pieces to their championship-caliber roster.
