Alabama becomes instant contender for Arkansas DB Marcus Wimberly

Marcus Wimberly feels Alabama is now one of his top schools after visiting and earning and earning an offer from the Crimson Tide.

Wimberly attends Beauxite High Schol in Arkansas, and he currently garners a three-star rating from most recruiting sites. Alabama becomes the 18th college football program to offer Wimberly. His offer comes from the Crimson Tide’s Co-DC and defensive backs coach Colin Hitschler informed Wimberly of his offer from the Tide.

“It means a ton,” Wimberly said about his Alabama offer. “It’s a historic football program. 18 national championships speak for themselves. Coach DeBoer’s record as a head coach is 112-10. It means so much and I’m so thankful. It’s only one of the most dominant SEC teams in the last 10 years. So, the program is top -notch.”

The junior feels his offer from the Tide puts them near the top of his recruitment.

“It definitely gets Alabama in there with my top schools, along with Utah in my Top seven,” Wimberly told Touchdown Alabama.

The 6-foot-1, 205-pounder makes plays on both sides of the football for Beauxite. His physical playing style is present on both with the way he can disconnect expecting wide receivers from the football and blocks when he lines up at wide receiver. As a safety, he gets downhill fast with reportedly 4.4 forty speed and displays great ball judgment skills when defending over the top.
