Top recruit Grant Wise, a 5-star offensive lineman from the Class of 2025, has confirmed that he will be making a return to the University of Alabama after the Crimson Tide coaching staff recently visited him. The 6-foot-6, 300-pound lineman, who has emerged as one of the top offensive line prospects in the nation, is coming off a season that saw him dominate on the field for his high school team, impressing college recruiters across the country.
Wise, who hails from South Carolina, is being heavily recruited by a number of top programs, but Alabama has been in hot pursuit of him in recent months. His upcoming visit to Tuscaloosa is seen as a significant step in the recruitment process, and Alabama fans are eager to see if the visit can sway Wise toward committing to the Crimson Tide.
Alabama offered Wise in March and he went to camp in Tuscaloosa in June with Alabama’s staff. Kapilovic visited Pace this weekend to check in on the four-star recruit. “It was great to see him and spend time talking about the program,” Wise stated.
The Alabama coaching staff, led by head coach Nick Saban, has made a strong push to land Wise, and their recent trip to visit him at his school shows just how important the program views him. Alabama’s offensive line coach, along with other key members of the staff, met with Wise and his family to further discuss the program’s vision and how he would fit into their plans for the future.
Wise’s ability to play both tackle and guard has made him a versatile and highly sought-after prospect. His size, athleticism, and high football IQ make him an ideal candidate to contribute immediately at the next level. He has been described as an explosive player with exceptional strength and a quick first step, and his skill set has drawn comparisons to some of the best offensive linemen in the country.
The return visit to Alabama will allow Wise to get a closer look at the Crimson Tide’s facilities, meet with additional members of the coaching staff, and potentially take in a game-day atmosphere if the timing aligns. His decision on where to commit will be one of the most closely watched in the 2025 recruiting cycle, as he has the potential to be an immediate impact player at whichever program he chooses.
Alabama is looking to continue its success in recruiting elite offensive line talent, and landing a commitment from Wise would be another major victory in their ongoing efforts to bolster the trenches. His relationship with the coaching staff, as well as the opportunity to develop under one of the top programs in college football, will certainly be factors in his final decision.
With a number of visits to other schools still on his schedule, Wise has yet to make a final commitment, but his upcoming visit to Alabama is expected to be a critical step toward narrowing his options. Alabama fans will be watching closely, as the program looks to continue its dominance in both recruiting and on-field performance.
