In just a few days, Brendan Scales went from being lightly recruited by Alabama to being 100 percent committed to the Crimson Tide football program.
On Wednesday, the tight end from Ballwin, Mo., got the offer from assistant coach Bobby Williams. He made the trip down with family over the weekend and committed on Friday, a day before he saw the Crimson Tide's A-Day Game played in front of an announced 65,000 people.
Sunday, he had time to catch his breath and reflect over a whirlwind week. He booked the trip before he got the offer, but once the offer came, the 6-foot-4, 230-pound Scales knew where he wanted to play college football.
