Alabama was a rapid riser on the list of schools for three-star Class of 2025 defensive tackle Charles House. He released a top six schools list on April 13, which didn’t include Alabama. But things changed when the Crimson Tide extended an offer just eight days later on April 21.
Heading into the summer it will be an SEC battle for the No. 39 ranked DT in the 2025 class. He now has a top-three of Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee, with the Crimson Tide getting the first of Charles’ official visits to all three schools. He will take his first-ever trip to Tuscaloosa on May 31.
“I just want to go down there and see everything,” House said. “But most importantly, I just want to see how I’m going to fit down there with the players and the rest of the coaching staff to see [if that] would be somewhere I’d consider home or not.
“[Alabama’s] the first on the list. They’ve got to make it big.”
Alabama has the first chance to make an impression on House, and how his visit goes will be crucial if the Tide wants to pip Georgia and Tennessee for his services. The Bulldogs will have the next visit starting June 7 and House will make his way to Knoxville, Tennessee on June 14. He is set to announce his commitment on June 22.
Though House only picked up an offer just over a month ago he’s developed a strong relationship with the Alabama coaching staff. His main recruiter has been Alabama defensive line coach Freddie Roach, while he’s also spoken with both Kalen DeBoer and Kane Wommack.
“They’ve been telling me good things,” House said. “[They’re] talking about where I'm at in the program and stuff they can do for me, and it just really caught my attention and that's why I had to set up an OV [to] get down there see what they’re about.”
House said DeBoer discussed his winning record and how he’ll keep Alabama at the top of college football. While he hasn’t been on campus yet, House has received a visit from Wommack and Roach in April. House said both coaches critiqued his game and gave him a great understanding of what it would be like to play for them should he commit.
“[Roach] is going to shoot it straight with me,” House said… “[Even] now he'll let me know what I'm doing wrong, talking about my pad level and stuff like that. So he’s already letting me know the type of coach that he’s gonna be now versus when I get down there. He's gonna let me know what’s up.”
House will join nine other top Alabama targets and a trio of 2025 commits next weekend as Alabama begins its June official visit period. Alabama is set for a big month on the recruiting trail with nearly three dozen recruits and commits set to take OVs before the summer dead period.
