Alabama beats out Ohio State, Tennessee for 4-star linebacker
Alabama added a big-time prospect to its 2025 recruiting class on Sunday afternoon.
The Crimson Tide earned a commitment from 4-star linebacker Jaedon Harmon. The Georgia native chose Alabama over programs such as Clemson, Ohio State and Tennessee.
Harmon shared the news of his commitment with On3’s Hayes Fawcett:

Harmon is an elite prospect in the class of 2025. He’s the No. 177 overall player and the No. 23 linebacker in the country for that cycle, per 247Sports Composite rankings. He’s also the No. 25 player from the state of Georgia.
This is a big recruiting win for Alabama. Harmon attended Clemson’s junior day earlier this season and also recently picked up offers from Oregon and Texas A&M. Instead, he becomes one of Alabama’s highest-rated defensive players to commit so far in the class of 2025.
Overall, Harmon is the 10th player to join Alabama’s 2025 recruiting class. The group currently sits at No. 7 nationally, per 247Sports Composite rankings. Seven of Alabama’s 10 recruits so far in this cycle are 4-or-5-star prospects, per that outlet.
Harmon attends Rome High School in Rome, Georgia. He’s listed at 6-foot-1, 215 pounds.
It’s been a great first offseason for Kalen DeBoer and his staff so far in Tuscaloosa. Alabama will now presumably turn their attention to recruiting the transfer portal for the next few weeks as it gears up for the 2024 campaign. The spring transfer window opens on Monday for a 15-day period.
Fans who want to bet on Alabama during the offseason can place a bet on the Tide in the futures markets. Bet365 currently has Alabama’s regular season win total at 9.5. The Tide are also +900 to win the SEC and +1100 to win the national championship in 2024.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Big hearts, small hands! Tennessee kids are stepping up to make a big difference this summer.
First Lady Maria Lee on Tuesday announced the eighth annual Tennessee Kids Serve Summer Challenge, encouraging young students to dedicate part of their summer to helping others.
The program, part of the Tennessee Serves initiative, runs from June 1 through Aug. 1 and is open to rising kindergarteners through rising sixth graders across the state.
Participants must complete at least two hours of service across two of eight designated categories to finish the challenge, with top participants earning an invitation to a September carnival at the Tennessee Residence.
Since its launch in 2019, more than 3,500 children have contributed over 15,000 hours of service through activities ranging from park cleanups to assisting nursing homes and raising funds for disaster relief.
Registration opened Tuesday, with parents and guardians able to sign up participants and access additional details through the First Lady’s official website.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) — A bill moving through the Tennessee Legislature could reshape how pharmacies do business in the state, with CVS warning it could lead to widespread store closures.
The Tennessee Senate has passed legislation that would change the way pharmacies can operate. The proposal has been dubbed “the CVS bill” because it directly impacts the drugstore chain.
Under the bill, drugstores would no longer be allowed to negotiate prices directly with insurance providers or government programs. Instead, a third party would be required to step in.
The bill is now under debate in the House. CVS says the change would force more than 100 of its pharmacies to close across Tennessee, but lawmakers disagree.
