Alabama reaches top five for Michael Compton-Nero

What Happened

Alabama reached the top five for 2028 athlete Michael Compton-Nero after he visited Saturday for the Crimson Tide’s 49-18 win over South Carolina. Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Ole Miss and SMU also made Compton-Nero’s list. He ranks No. 45 overall and No. 1 among athletes in the 247Sports composite, while On3/Rivals rank him No. 51 overall and No. 3 at the position. He is the top player in Oklahoma. A commitment would add another major piece to Alabama’s No. 1-ranked 2028 class, which has six commits, and strengthen the Crimson Tide’s position with the state’s top prospect. The 6-foot-3, 185-pound athlete brings unusual positional range. At Rejoice Christian, he played quarterback and produced more than 3,000 all-purpose yards, 49 total touchdowns and 95 tackles as a sophomore. After transferring to Owasso, he has 22 catches for 133 yards and two touchdowns, plus eight tackles during his junior season. Alabama visits Mississippi State on Oct. 3. Compton-Nero has not announced a decision date or preferred school.
