Clay-Chalkville senior DJ Dale -- at 6-foot-2 and 320 pounds -- committed to Alabama as a defensive lineman.

Dale, ranked No. 10 on the preseason A-List, impressed with a catch-and-run for a touchdown in a 2017 playoff loss to Pinson Valley, and he's already scored three touchdowns as a short-yardage back this season.
In Thursday's 31-24 victory over James Clemens, Dale's 5-yard run showed his determination. Watch the play:
