Here’s the latest I can share based on recent reports.
-
Cole Cloer recently transferred to Alabama, announcing his commitment to the Crimson Tide in mid-April 2026. This marks a new chapter after previously being associated with NC State as a transfer target/addition.[2]
-
Prior coverage highlighted Cloer’s NC State signing and reclassification discussions in 2025, but those developments were superseded by subsequent transfer news. For context, NC State had been pursuing Cloer as a high-profile recruit before the transfer cycle shifted his destination.[1][3]
-
Other outlets have tracked Cloer’s recruitment journey through 2025, including his IMG Academy move and floating top-eight/ finales with multiple programs before the Alabama decision.[4][6]
If you’d like, I can pull the most up-to-date local coverage from NYC-area outlets or provide a short timeline of Cloer’s public recruitment, including key dates and schools involved. I can also summarize what Alabama’s addition could mean for their rotation and recruiting footprint. Would you prefer a quick timeline or a program-by-program impact note?
