Alabama’s junior day last week started paying dividends. One of its biggest 2019 recruits reaffirmed his commitment to the Crimson Tide on Sunday night. Last weekend was very busy for the Crimson Tide on the recruiting trail, but this week was a little slower. Nick Saban and the team were still occupied, helping build a Habitat for Humanity house in Tuscaloosa.
Here is the latest on Alabama’s recruiting prospects. All star ratings and rankings come from the 247Sports composite:
- Five-star offensive tackle Pierce Quick, as he announced he was shutting down his recruitment. Quick, from Trussville, is the 25th-ranked prospect in the 2019 recruiting class. He attended junior day last weekend and unofficially visited Alabama on Saturday again. He’s been committed since last April but has still been hearing from other schools.
I want to thank every school that’s recruited me throughout this process. it’s truly been a blessing. At this time though I am completely shutting down my recruitment I am 100% committed to THE University of Alabama and am going to build the the best class seen at Bama. #RTR pic.twitter.com/fKBp0jEHhS
