When you know, you just know.
That's how Saraland 2018 quarterback Jack West described his decision to commit to Stanford over Alabama this week. West announced the decision on his Twitter account Tuesday night.
"I believe Stanford University is the best decision for me," West told AL.com exclusively. "I think it will set me up for things much bigger than football. I believe it is the place that has the right people to lead me in the right direction."
I am committed to and will attend Stanford University.

The 6-foot-4, 210-pound West was a prized recruit before even starting his first game for the Spartans as a sophomore in 2015.
