Alabama’s in-state defensive line commit, Kamhariyan Johnson, heads into his official visit with recruiting as a top priority

Kamhariyan Johnson quickly felt at home with the University of Alabama after receiving an offer in January. The Muscle Shoals, Alabama, native committed to the Crimson Tide—his childhood dream team—during his A-Day visit in April. This marked his third trip to Tuscaloosa in 2025, following a junior day visit on February 1 and a spring practice visit in March.

Defensive line coach Freddie Roach played a pivotal role in securing the early commitment from the 6-foot-3, 262-pound standout and remains instrumental in maintaining Johnson’s confidence in his decision, despite interest from other programs. Roach and the Alabama coaching staff aim to solidify Johnson’s commitment during his official visit this weekend, hoping to ensure he won’t consider other schools.
