Five-Star Wide Receiver Xavier Restrepo Commits to Alabama Football, Choosing Tide Over Miami and Georgia
In a stunning turn of events, five-star wide receiver Xavier Restrepo has committed to Alabama over the Miami Hurricanes and Georgia Bulldogs, solidifying his place in one of the most storied programs in college football history.
Restrepo, widely regarded as one of the top recruits in the 2025 class, had been heavily pursued by several powerhouse programs, including his hometown Miami Hurricanes. However, after months of speculation and visits to both Alabama and Georgia, the 6-foot-1, 190-pound playmaker announced his decision to join Nick Saban’s elite squad in Tuscaloosa.
The announcement, made via social media, sent waves through the college football recruiting world. Restrepo, who’s known for his explosive speed, reliable hands, and ability to make plays in critical situations, will bolster an already stacked Alabama receiving corps. His decision to sign with the Crimson Tide gives Alabama a major boost as they look to remain at the pinnacle of college football.
Restrepo’s commitment is particularly significant for Alabama, as they aim to maintain their dominance in the SEC and on the national stage. He’s expected to make an immediate impact on offense, adding another dynamic weapon for Alabama’s future quarterback recruits to target. While Miami and Georgia had strong recruiting pitches, Restrepo cited Alabama’s winning tradition, top-tier coaching staff, and the opportunity to develop his skills at the highest level as key factors in his decision.
His decision also marks a shift in the recruiting landscape, as it highlights Alabama’s continued ability to land top talent from around the country. Restrepo’s signing adds to the growing momentum for the Crimson Tide as they look to secure another national championship in the near future.
