The pick is in for 4-Star 2026 LB Adam Balogoun-Ali!
Earlier this evening (July 8), the extraordinary linebacker from West Palm Beach hosted his commitment party at the Waterfront Cafe in Palm Beach Gardens, thrown by REACHNIL. The final 3 choices all hailing from the SEC- Missouri, Auburn and Kentucky.
As everyone patiently anticipated the decision, Adam said into the mic; “For the next three years, I am taking my talents to…..Auburn” as he puts on the cap.
The pick is in‼️

When asked about what ultimately stood Auburn apart from his other two finalists, Adam stated:
“Auburn is on the rise.” Balogoun-Ali shared. “The people out in the Plains are incredible. Coach Freeze and Coach DJ Durkin have recruited me hard from the jump. Coach Durkin serving as the defensive coordinator and the linebackers coach was something that stood out to me.”
For those unfamiliar, Adam Balogoun-Ali is Palm Beach County’s top linebacker. At 6 foot 2, 215lbs Balogoun-Ali is a physically imposing force that you simply do not want to meet over the middle. He’s fast, he’s smart and most importantly- he WILL take your helmet clean off.
