Roman Voss took an official recruiting visit to Alabama over the June 13-15 weekend and got an up-close look at the bluest of college football’s blue-blood programs.

The Jackson County Central athlete toured Bryant-Denny Stadium, where more than 100,000 Crimson Tide zealots gather on autumn Saturdays. He saw tributes to the 18 national championships, 84 consensus All-Americans and four Heisman Trophy winners that highlight Alabama’s history.

And Voss posed for photos wearing a crimson No. 4 jersey, envisioning what it might feel like to play for the Tide.

At 5 p.m. Monday, it was time for Voss, the top-ranked 2026 recruit in the state of Minnesota, to make his collegiate choice between two finalists: Alabama and the Gophers.

He chose the Gophers, staying in his home state and committing to a group of coaches — head coach P.J. Fleck, offensive coordinator Greg Harbaugh Jr. and tight ends coach Eric Koehler — who earned his trust.
