Late January 2026 made Birmingham a recruiting magnet, led by Ramsay High School four-star defensive lineman Karlos May, who hosted in-school visits from roughly a dozen SEC and national programs ahead of the January 31 contact-period close. A Clemson-tied jet (N103DE) flew from California (KTRM) to Birmingham (KBHM), arriving January 31. The NCAA Division I football contact period ran January 5 through 31, 2026.
