This summer has been good to Alabama football in recruiting.
As it looks to close the month out strong, the Crimson Tide picked up its 12th commitment on Wednesday for its 2021 class in four-star Kendrick Blackshire. The talented inside linebacker from Duncanville (Texas) High School is nothing to sneeze at.
Listed at 6-foot-2 and 240 pounds, he brings a lot of thump and playmaking abilities to the position.
