2026 Public Schools Top 100 Preview: No. 49 Saraland
Oklahoma commit Jamison Roberts gives Saraland a current quarterback centerpiece for its 2026 Class 5A schedule.
Saraland has one of the clearest offensive starting points in the Alabama portion of the 2026 Top 100. Quarterback Jamison Roberts returns for his senior season as a 2027 prospect committed to Oklahoma, but the Spartans will have to fill the production that graduated from last years state championship appearance.
Roberts is the headline, but Saraland also has current names across the skill group and defense. Sye Byrd, Eddie Turner, Chris Cunningham, Keoni Snipes, Ricky Strong, and Jakari Harris give Jeff Kelly a real group to build around.
