Alabama football welcomes 3-star edge rusher Tyler Younger to its Class of 2027 after the Georgia product announced his commitment to the Crimson Tide on Tuesday.

Younger, out of Greater Atlanta Christian School in Norcross, Ga., is considered the No. 53 Edge and the No. 76 player in Georgia by 247Sports. The 6-foot-5, 230 pound edge rusher chose Alabama over Stanford, Rutgers and Central Florida.

He's the only Wolf prospect in the current class after Alabama saw Kenneth Simon flip from the Crimson Tide to Tennessee. Alabama wolf coach Christian Robinson graduated from Greater Atlanta Christian School and invited Younger to camp earlier in the summer. Alabama offered him on June 14, and he completed an official visit this past weekend.

The rising senior becomes the 10th player in the Class of 2027 for the Crimson Tide. Alabama currently holds the No. 64 overall class and the No. 15 class in the SEC.
