Shawn Murphy announced his verbal commitment to Alabama football Sunday.
Murphy is Alabama’s twelfth commit in the 2022 recruiting class. He is the Tide’s fourth five-star pledge and their third linebacker commit. Alabama beat out Florida, LSU, Penn State and Ohio State to grab a commitment from Murphy.
Alabama was among the first group of schools to offer the Virginia product when he was a freshman. Murphy previously stated he wanted to go to a program where he could get the tools needed to be successful after his playing days were over.
“I want to be with people I can talk to without having to be hesitant and to feel like I am getting all of the essentials I need to have a job of my choice at the end of college or after an NFL career,” Murphy told Touchdown Alabama.
