In a significant boost to their 2025 recruiting class, the Alabama Crimson Tide secured a commitment from five-star wide receiver Jaime Ffrench Jr. The 6’2″, 180-pound standout from Mandarin High School in Jacksonville, Florida, announced his decision on July 22, 2023, choosing Alabama over notable programs such as Florida State and Ohio State .
Ffrench’s commitment adds to Alabama’s impressive wide receiver haul, joining fellow five-star recruit Ryan Williams from Saraland High School in Alabama . Williams, a two-time Alabama Mr. Football awardee, reclassified to the 2024 class and has already made an impact at Alabama . With Ffrench’s addition, Alabama now boasts two of the nation’s top wide receiver prospects in the 2025 class.
Ffrench’s rise in high school football has been meteoric. After a modest freshman season, he exploded onto the scene as a sophomore, recording 44 receptions for 671 yards and five touchdowns . His athletic prowess extends beyond football; he also competes in basketball and track and field, where he clocked an impressive 11.67 seconds in the 100-meter dash in March 2022 .
Ffrench’s commitment underscores Alabama’s continued dominance in recruiting elite talent, particularly at the wide receiver position. With a core of young, dynamic receivers, the Crimson Tide are poised to maintain their offensive prowess in the coming years.
