The Crimson Tide’s recruiting machine continues to pick up steam — and now, Cederian Morgan, Alabama’s prized 5-star wide receiver commit, is making headlines again. This time, it’s not for a touchdown catch or a viral highlight, but for a bold and direct message to fellow elite prospect, 5-star linebacker Anthony “Tank” Jones, just days before Jones is set to announce his college decision.
And the message? Come to Tuscaloosa. Let’s build a dynasty.
“Tank — you know what this is. Bama is the move. Let’s eat together,” Morgan posted on Instagram, tagging Jones along with a 🔒 emoji and a crimson elephant.
🧨 Building the Brotherhood
Cederian Morgan, the No. 2 wide receiver in the nation and the top-ranked player in Alabama, shocked the recruiting world earlier this summer when he committed to the Crimson Tide over Georgia, Florida, and Texas. Since then, he’s emerged as a vocal leader of the 2026 class — turning his commitment into a recruiting campaign of his own.
Now, with Anthony “Tank” Jones — the No. 1 linebacker in the country — approaching his commitment date, Morgan is turning up the pressure, making it clear he wants to share the field, the locker room, and the championship chase with the elite defender.
“We’re trying to build something that nobody’s seen before,” Morgan told reporters. “Tank is a monster. We need dogs like him in Tuscaloosa.”
💪 Who is Anthony “Tank” Jones?
Jones, a 6’2”, 235-pound linebacker out of Cedar Hill, Texas, is one of the most dominant defensive prospects in the 2026 cycle. Known for his explosive first step, violent tackling, and sideline-to-sideline range, he’s drawn comparisons to former Alabama great Dont’a Hightower.
His final five includes:
- Alabama
- Georgia
- Ohio State
- Texas
- LSU
But sources say Alabama and Texas are the frontrunners — with Cederian Morgan doing everything he can to tip the scale toward Tuscaloosa.
🔥 A Potential Program-Defining Duo?
A class that includes Cederian Morgan on offense and Anthony Jones on defense would give Alabama one of the most balanced and elite recruiting tandems in the nation.
- Morgan = Vertical threat + elite speed + alpha mindset
- Jones = Defensive anchor + SEC-ready frame + football IQ
Pairing them would send a message across college football: Bama is not slowing down in the post-Saban era — it’s evolving.
💬 Fan Buzz & Insider Talk
Alabama fans are already taking to social media in anticipation:
- 🐘 “Cederian is recruiting better than some staffers 💯”
- 🧱 “Tank + Morgan = Natty incoming”
- 🔥 “Bama’s class of 2026 is about to be legendary”
Recruiting insiders believe Jones has been “leaning Crimson” but that Morgan’s very public push could seal the deal.
🏁 Final Word
With the 2026 commitment dominoes starting to fall, Cederian Morgan is proving he’s more than just a receiver — he’s a program builder. And with Anthony “Tank” Jones on the edge of his decision, Bama fans have every reason to believe another 5-star is headed to T-Town.
The next dynasty isn’t coming — it’s already being built.
