Here’s the verified lowdown on this buzzworthy recruit:
🏈 Who is the 7′4″ phenom?
- His name is Tysqeuvious Lepancake, a 5-star offensive tackle from Mobile, AL. He originally committed to Georgia but has now flipped to Alabama.
- He stands at an astonishing 7‑foot‑4, around 375–380 lbs, and reportedly boasts an 89‑inch wingspan.
⚡ Athletic freak alert: His 40‑yard dash
- Lepancake clocked an incredible 4.5‑second 40-yard dash at a regional combine—numbers more fitting for a receiver, not a lineman.
- Other outlets report a 4.71 to 4.71‑ish time or a 4.71-ish split, but the consensus remains: unheard of speed for his size.
🌪️ Why this flip matters
- Recruiting tremor: Alabama poached a generational talent from SEC rival Georgia, bolstering their 2025–26 class rank .
- System fit & NIL power: Alabama’s pitch reportedly includes two-way usage (offense and defense), plus an NIL package that Georgia didn’t match .
- Program message: Under Kalen DeBoer, Alabama is signaling that even post-Saban, its recruiting dominance continues.
📊 Comparisons & potential
- Scouts liken his prototype to a mashup of Orlando Pace and Victor Wembanyama—except taller, faster, more powerful .
- An SEC assistant noted:
“You’re not supposed to have a guy who can pancake an edge rusher and then run stride for stride with a linebacker 40 yards downfield.”
🔜 What’s next?
- Lepancake is expected to enroll early in January 2026, giving Bama time to refine his physique and develop him within the program.
- While some project patience on the depth chart, most think he could start sooner rather than later, and will be a high-level NFL prospect down the line .
Bottom line:
Alabama just secured what could be the tallest, fastest lineman in college football history. At 7′4″, 380 lbs, and a sub‑4.5 40, Lepancake is straight out of a video game. His flip from Georgia sends a loud signal: Alabama’s NFL-style development + aggressive recruiting = a new era of dominance.
