Alabama picked up its second commit of the 2025 recruiting class on Sunday afternoon as Mason Short, a 4-star offensive lineman from Evans High School in Evans, Ga., committed to the Crimson Tide.

Short, listed at 6'6 300 pounds, committed to the Crimson Tide over Georgia, Tennessee, Florida, and Florida State.

Mason Short visited Alabama during Junior Day on January 28. Short also visited Florida on the first weekend in March, Florida State on March 11, and Tennessee on March 25.

Why he chose Alabama, "When I first stepped on campus, I felt at home. Especially after I was able to build relationships with the coaching staff."

Relationships were a significant factor in Short's commitment, with Alabama's OL coach Eric Wolford leading the charge. Short said he has a great relationship with the other coaches on staff, including his area recruiter, Joe Cox. In addition to coaches, he says he's also built good relationships with Wilkin Formby and Olaus Alinen, two early enrollees for Alabama in the 2023 class.

Talking about the transition from high school to college football, "The staff says the transition is intense, but if I keep my head down and work, it'll go smooth."

Short fits into a model that Alabama had with their OL recruiting in the 2023 class, with every OL recruiting coming in at taller than 6'2 and 300 pounds or heavier. Short will look to bolster an already dominant Crimson Tide OL room under coach Eric Wolford.

Short will return to Alabama on April 15th, during the team's second closed scrimmage of spring practice, a week prior to Alabama's spring game.
