Keon Sabb, the Alabama Crimson Tide safety undoubtedly had a dream debut. A game in which Alabama ruthlessly walked over Western Kentucky and ended with a 63-0 scoreline. The sophomore offered everything in the game with two solo tackles and two well-executed interceptions going for 87 yards. However, as fate would have it, his season was cut short after he suffered a long-term injury against Tennessee in November and had to undergo surgery. Still, 39 total interceptions aren’t bad for a guy who played only 7 games in the season. But guess what Bama fans, you just might see his younger brother too donning the crimson and white. However, there’s a catch.

Well, as Keon Sabb was walking down the sidelines after his dream debut, his brother Amari Sabb in New Jersey was busy cashing in offers from virtually every major program in the country. And, we all know the type of player Keon is right? His coach DeBoer summed it up very nicely, “Keon Sabb, a guy that was at the right spot at the right time and made the plays. That’s what it’s all about. A lot of guys will be where they need to be and all that but a little special play here and there, maybe it goes through their hands. Keon, you could just see he was ready for that moment” So, much like his brother, Amari Sabb got to have all the things that Keon has right? Well, that’s a part of it, but there’s more…

Amari undoubtedly had all the ingredients to become the talked-about prodigy he has been since 7th grade. That is when the offers started lining up his door. Penn State was the first to talk him up and others similarly followed suit with Ole Miss, Georgia, Michigan, and the likes of Oregon extending him offers gradually. And why would they not? He is after all a player so versatile that he can play virtually anywhere; plus, he is ranked no. 30 in the country in 247’s composite rankings of the 2026 batch.

Amari being a 7th-grade boy was already leaping with joy. “My dad called me downstairs and put me on the phone. He told me the coach was on the phone, When he told me, I was really excited and running around the house.” He also said that he understood that he had to work hard from then on and capitalize on the hype he was getting. But, the story didn’t stop there.

So far he has raked up a total of 27 official offers that also include his brother’s Alabama. Other colleges include Tennessee, Ryan Day’s Ohio State, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin. But, Wisconsin is a case worth talking about. This is because he received his scholarship offer on May 17th, 2024, and had only words of praise for Luke Fickell’s program, “I look forward to getting on campus (Wisconsin) in the future.” So, does that mean it’s a done deal for Wisconsin and Amari? Well, not that easily.

Future of Amary Sabb

What’s your perspective on:

Will Amari Sabb follow in Keon's footsteps, or carve his own path in college football?

Have an interesting take?

Why isn’t the Badgers a done deal? Ryan Day’s Ohio State has also offered him the scholarship. And, according to On3’s probability, he has a probability of 12.7% of joining Bama. But that’s not too much right? Well, it is because the other two colleges are Penn State with a 41% probability, and Michigan with a 14.8 % probability. So, the ultimate program that will make his services available will be amongst these three teams.

Furthermore, he has also recently received an offer from the Nebraska Cornhuskers. And while On3’s probability stats place them at less than 1% percent, he did share the offer on X. “ Blessed to receive an offer from the University of Nebraska“. While it’s unlikely that he will be donning the Cornhuskers’ stripes. But, it seems it is an idea he is willing to explore. What are your thoughts, where will Amari land eventually?
