Jeremiah Alexander Makes Decision

Five-star edge rusher Jeremiah Alexander from Alabaster, Ala., had made his college decision and decided to recommit to the Alabama Crimson Tide, becoming the Tide's 10th overall commitment in the class of 2022.

Alexander decommitted from Alabama in the fall, but remained one of Alabama's top targets throughout the last few months. However, Alabama wasn't alone in the battle to land the five-star recruit as Clemson was working hard to pry away the edge rusher from the Tide's back yard.

Following his decommitment from Alabama, Alexander made visits in June to USC, UCF, Clemson and Alabama.

It is said that the Tigers made a big push to bring the 6-foot-2, 235-pound edge rusher to Death Valley. But the option of playing close to home must have had a big effect on Alexander's recruitment as his hometown (Alabaster) is very close to Tuscaloosa.

So what does Alabama get in the five-star? Alexander is considered a "jack of all trades prospect on the front seven," according to SI All-American's John Garcia Jr., who spoke with SI's Bama Central regarding his recruitment.

Garcia went on to say, "Regardless of where he lines up most in college, adding the prospect and person in picking up Alexander will be one of the more memorable wins for head coach Nick Saban's staff once we look back on this class down the line."
