Alabama has reportedly been listed as one of the final five finalists in the recruitment of linebacker Joakim Gouda, per Rivals’ Hayes Fawcett.
Gouda is a talented linebacker that has drawn interest from a multitude of programs around the country. At 6’2”, 225 pounds, Gouda could prove to be an excellent fit on the Crimson Tide’s defense in 2027, should he commit to Alabama.

The playmaker will more than likely continue narrowing down his options in the near future, as Gouda currently has Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, and Texas listed as his top five programs.
Gouda is ranked as the No. 61 linebacker and the No. 739 overall player from the class of 2027, per the 247SportsComposite rankings. An attendee of South Paulding High School in Georgia, Gouda is widely regarded as a top linebacker from the state of Georgia and could quickly prove to be a difference maker at any program that lands his commitment.
Alabama’s 2027 recruiting class currently has four commitments, one of which comes from the state of Georgia in cornerback Nash Johnson III.
