Jalen Milroe announced his commitment to Alabama Monday.
Milroe is a product of Tompkins High School in Katy, Texas. The Texas product is the Crimson Tide’s 19th commit in the 2021 ecruiting class. His commitment comes as a bit of a surprise as he was previously committed to the Texas Longhorns.
Alabama first hosted Milroe in June of 2019.
“It was truly amazing,” Milroe said. “It is one thing to see him on television and know about his legacy. Meeting him first hand is incredible.”
The Tide’s focus on education also stood out to Milroe during the visit.
“Every time I go to a new campus, I learn something new about that school and program,” Milroe said. “What stands out to me about Alabama is the emphasis on completing your degree in less than four years and how important they stress education.”
Saban’s legacy is one of the many things Milroe has said he likes about Alabama. Upon receiving an offer from them, Milroe expressed he was impressed with Nick Saban’s coaching background.
“It is truly amazing that he has a legendary background,” Milroe said. “Everywhere he has coached, he has built a legacy there.”
In the 2020 recruiting cycle, Alabama pulled in 5-Star quarterback, Bryce Young.
