Top Alabama target, 2027 linebacker reportedly sets commitment date

An Alabama target, four-star linebacker Kenneth Simon ll will reportedly announce his commitment decision on May 11, per Rivals’ Hayes Fawcett.

At 6-foot-2, 210 pounds, Simon is an extremely talented linebacker that would prove to be an excellent fit on the Tide’s defense starting in 2027. The rising star currently has Alabama, Georgia, Ole Miss, and Tennessee listed as his top four schools, as Simon held offers from a multitude of programs around the nation prior to narrowing down his options.

The linebacker could potentially emerge as the SEC’s next defensive star, regardless of which team he lands with, as Simon is officially closing in on a final decision in the near future.

Simon is currently ranked as the No. 7 linebacker and the No. 132 overall player from the 2027 class, per 247Sports. He is listed as the No. 6 overall player out of Tennessee as well where he attends Brentwood Academy, as Simon would undoubtedly be a massive addition to the Tide’s 2027 recruiting class should he ultimately commit to Alabama.

The Crimson Tide have continued to target some of the top overall talent from the class of 2027 this offseason, as Simon may very well be the next addition in early May.
