Alabama Lands 2024 In-State LB Sterling Dixon

The Mobile Christian product was high school teammates with a current Crimson Tide linebacker.

Alabama picked up another commit in the class of 2024 Thursday afternoon. 

In-state outside linebacker Sterling Dixon chose the Crimson Tide over Auburn and LSU, becoming the fifth member of Alabama's 2024 class. 

Dixon will be teaming up with his high school teammate and current Crimson Tide redshirt linebacker Deontae Lawson. Both defenders played at Mobile Christian in Mobile. Lawson saw a significant role in the Alabama defense this season. 

The high school junior had offers from dozens of schools and took multiple visits to Tuscaloosa throughout the fall. He was mainly recruited by Alabama defensive coordinator and inside linebackers coach Pete Golding and associate defensive coordinator Charles Kelly. 

Dixon is rated a  4-star prospect by 247Sports, On3 and Rivals. In his junior season for Mobile Christian, he had 172 tackles and 18 sacks. He will still have one more season of high school football, but Alabama's 2023 class will begin making it official on the Early Signing Day, Dec. 21.
