One of college football’s legendary programs is the latest to extend an offer to Jackson County Central’s Roman Voss.
Voss announced on X (formerly known as Twitter) Thursday night that he has received an offer from the University of Alabama.
Roman and his family made a visit to Miami, Fla., earlier this week before traveling to Tuscaloosa. That brings the number of Power Four conference football schools bidding for his services to 13.
Voss is the top-ranked recruit in Minnesota's Class of 2026 and is the No. 13 athlete and the No. 171 prospect nationally in the 2026 class, according to 247Sports.
Here’s the list of schools that have made an offer to Voss:
Big 10
Iowa
Illinois
Minnesota
UCLA
USC
Wisconsin
Big 12
Iowa State
Kansas
Kansas State
ACC
California
Miami (Fla.)
SEC
Alabama
Auburn
Alabama was 9-4 overall and 7-3 in the Southeastern Conference.
The Crimson Tide lost to Michigan 19-13 in the ReliaQuest Bowl in Tampa. That was a rematch of a College Football Playoff semifinal game at the Rose Bowl the previous season.
Last year was Kalen DeBoer’s first season as head coach at Alabama. He is a native of Milbank, S.D. and played at the University of Sioux Falls, where he was an all-American wide receiver, setting school records for receptions, receiving yardage and touchdown catches.
DeBoer was an offensive coordinator at USF before becoming head coach of the Cougars for five seasons. After losing in the NAIA semifinals in his first year, Sioux Falls made the national championship games four straight years, winning three. His record with the Cougars was 67-3.
He was offensive coordinator at Southern Illinois, Eastern Michigan, Fresno State and Indiana. DeBoer was then head coach at Fresno State for two seasons with a 12-6 record (the 2020 season was shortened due to COVID) and Washington for two years, going 25-3.
Alabama started its football program in 1892. The program claims 18 national championships, including 13 wire-service (AP or Coaches') national titles in the poll-era, and five other titles before the poll-era.
