Alabama reeled in a commitment from one of its top 2020 targets on Monday morning. Calera defensive tackle Jayson Jones, the No. 1 player in the state in his class, committed to the Crimson Tide.
Jones is the No. 3 defensive tackle and the No. 55 overall player in the 2020 class. He picked Alabama over Georgia among many other offers.
The Calera, Alabama product committed to the Crimson Tide via a YouTube video released on his Twitter account. Be sure you watch all the way to the end.

In a later tweet, Jones thanked offensive line coach Brent Key, defensive line coach Craig Kuligowski, and 2019 commit Pierce Quick who has been quite active in recruiting for Alabama since his commitment in early March, for “being the best people and recruiters.”
Jones checks in at 6-foot-5 and 322-pounds. He picked up his offer from Alabama in March and took an unofficial visit to Tuscaloosa earlier this summer before committing.
Jones is the Crimson Tide’s fifth commitment for the 2020 class, and the third in-state commitment in the class. Alabama has three of the top five in-state prospects for 2020 already committed.
Shoutout to @CoachBrentKey @LetsMeetAtTheQB and @PierceQuick for being the best people and recruiters!
