Alabama football grabs another big commitment

The good news continues for the University of Alabama adding another major commitment on Monday evening.

Jaquan Yulee, four-star linebacker from Indian River High School in Chesapeake, Va., announced his commitments to Alabama, choosing the Tide instead of North Carolina and Virginia Tech. Yulee becomes commitment No. 12 in the 2016 class. He was recruited by Alabama outside linebackers coach Tosh Lupoi.

“It’s Alabama,” Yulee told Rivals.com. “Alabama is a big school and everybody down there is all about football.”

Yulee’s head football coach has high praise for his star athlete.

“He’s probably one of the most physical football players I’ve seen in the last 15-20 years,” Glenwood Ferebee said.
