Kalen DeBoer has Alabama in the mix for the top prospect and freak athlete in the heart of Big Ten country
It’s not often we see a recruiting race come down to Alabama and Minnesota. However, four-star athlete Roman Voss is a unique prospect on the field, and his career interests seem to be following suit.
The top-ranked recruit in Minnesota stands 6-foot-4 and 225 pounds and plays in a 2A division at Jackson County Central. Considering how the in-state schools work in Minnesota, it’s incredibly impressive Voss is rated so highly at such a small school.
His highlight film is also hilarious, as you can imagine how dominant he is against much smaller and less-gifted athletes.
On3’s prediction machine has Iowa as the program most likely to land Voss, but that was obviously miscalculated considering the final two. Minnesota has the second-best odds and Alabama is fourth.
Alabama will host Voss on June 13 after Minnesota. His father, Rod, told On3 why Alabama is in the mix.
“Just our connection to Alabama,” Rod Voss said. “Kalen DeBoer was the coach at the University of Sioux Falls and my wife’s cousin’s husband played for him. We used to go watch him coach all the time back when he was playing. Roman wasn’t born yet but my older son went. My daughter goes to Sioux falls now and plays volleyball there.
“Ryan Grubb I used to work with him 20 years ago. I’m in the Ag business and Ryan was too before he got into coaching. I worked with Ryan’s dad and then with Ryan for two years. That was cool to see him when we were down at Alabama. Hadn’t seen him in 20 years. Had a good connection that way and crazy how he becomes the OC at Alabama.
“That’s good connections and when we were there we had a good feel. Coach Ellis from Alabama is coming tomorrow night to make a house visit.”
