COMMIT: Alabama Football Picks up elite 5-star in-state defensive back for 2023

When Pete Golding tweeted out an elephant earlier today, we all expected a new recruit to commit to the Tide. And 3-star Mississippi athlete Brayson Hubbard delivered. But Saban wasn’t done, and only a couple of hours later, the 5-star cornerback out of Alabaster, Alabama, Tony Mitchell, committed to the Tide to cap off a major Sunday for the Tide’s recruiting class.

At 6’2”, Mitchell is a lengthy athlete that may suggest he’s an outside corner, but don’t be surprised if the elite prospect is someone being viewed as a game-changing slot defender or even a deep safety by the Alabama coaching staff.
