Rising Tackle Prospect Alex Underwood Becomes Bama's Fourth Commit Of 2017 Class

Not yet rated, but already well-regarded, Alex Underwood has the perfect size for an athletic tackle.

Mario Cristobal's recruiting skills, Alabama's facilities, and the Tide's track record of developing pro-ready offensive linemen made the difference as OT Alex Underwood became the third Alabama commit in two days and the fourth of the 2017 season.

Per Underwood's coach, former FSU great Charlie Ward, he is a raw prospect at this point, but is very coachable and has natural skills for the position. The Pensacola prospect also comes across a serious, intelligent, and measured guy if his interviews are any indication; I seriously doubt qualifying or on-campus shenanigans are going to be an issue here.
