A New Chapter for the Wolverines
The 2025 campaign saw the Wolverines burst onto the field with five consecutive victories, highlighted by wins over Dothan and Enterprise, before a five‑game skid that culminated in a playoff defeat to Thompson. The roller‑coaster season set the stage for a dramatic transition heading into 2026.
Key departures have reshaped the squad. Zion Crumpton, who signed with Mississippi State, and Kalib Spivey, now at Benjamin Russell, are no longer on the roster, leaving sizable holes in both offense and defense. Their exits mark the end of an era and force the coaching staff to lean on emerging talent.
Spring Practices Reveal Young Talent
During spring workouts, rising junior Jayden Tyus has taken snaps with the first team, signaling his ascent as a potential quarterback leader. The wide receiver corps, featuring Makhi Williams and Tyler Grant, brings a blend of experience and upside that could become a cornerstone of the offense.
Coaches have praised the chemistry developing among the newcomers, noting that the group’s speed and route‑running precision give the team a fresh dynamic heading into the offseason. The defensive side is also seeing increased competition for starting spots as younger players push for roles.
Looking Ahead to Class 6A
With the Alabama High School Athletic Association’s reclassification, Carver-Montgomery will compete in the newly formed Class 6A division next fall. The move brings tougher opponents, but the Wolverines view it as an opportunity to test their rebuilt roster against elite competition.
The front office and boosters are already planning adjustments to scheduling, training resources, and community outreach to support the team’s ambitions. As the summer approaches, all eyes will be on how quickly the young core can gel and whether the program can translate its spring momentum into a winning season.
