Metz chose the Crimson Tide over offers from Georgia, Ole Miss, Tennessee and several others as his recruitment took a serious uptick after Alabama offered a scholarship.

He's one of three linebackers expected to sign with Alabama today as Duke Johnson and Abduall Sanders Jr. join him in the Class of 2025.

Mill Creek finished the season 7-4 but Metz still had an outstanding year, recording 79 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, six sacks and two forced fumbles during his senior season. In his final high school game he tallied 15 tackles, one sack and a forced fumble. Additionally, he helped the Mill Creek offense, pulling in 10 receptions for 174 yards and eight total touchdowns. He's expected to enroll early and join the Crimson Tide

Metz has been one of the more vocal members of the Class of 2025 as he grew up cheering for the Crimson Tide and has been a unifying voice while the program has undergone its transition to Kalen DeBoer.
