Jake pope announced his commitment to Alabama football Monday.
Pope is the Crimson Tide’s 14th verbal commit in the 2022 recruiting class and their second pledge from the state of Georgia. He chose Alabama over Georgia, Ohio State, Notre Dame and North Carolina. Pope’s commitment gives Alabama two defensive back pledges.
Alabama’s coaching staff started to make a hard push for Pope in January when they first extended an offer to him. The Buford, Georgia product referred to Alabama’s offer as a ‘dream offer’ when he was notified. He visited Tuscaloosa on his own a couple of weeks later in February when the recruiting dead period was in place.
