6-foot-4 JUCO DB believes Alabama has the development blueprint

Alabama football impressed Alius Mayo when he officially visited the Crimson Tide last weekend.

Mayo attends Modesto Junior College in Stockton, California, and his offer list includes offers from Alabama, Cal, Louisville and others. The Tide offered Mayo last weekend and immediately hosted him for an official visit. The fairly new Alabama target walked away from his official visit confident in Alabama’s player development.

“My biggest takeaway was that Alabama has a blueprint for getting cornerbacks to the league,” Mayo told Touchdown Alabama.

The California product has respect for the Alabama football program and feels it is undoubtedly one of the best in the country.

“Only great things,” Mayo said when asked his thoughts on Alabama. “It is top of the line.”

Alabama has made it clear it wants to continue to add length to its cornerback room. The Tide currently has four cornerbacks on its roster who are 6-foot-3 or taller, and both of the Tide’s current cornerback commits are 6-foot-3.

Mayo looks as if he could be a perfect fit in Tuscaloosa if he were to choose the Tide. The 6-foot-4 defensive back is a long and athletic cornerback who possesses a large cover radius with his long arms. That physical trait allows him to consistently play through the hands of pass catchers as a defender. His highlights are filled with plenty of pass breakups. He also possesses the ability to make tackles in space, which is something the Tide prioritizes on all levels of its defense, especially in the secondary.
