When 5-star DE Jeremiah Alexander left Tiger Town just a couple of weeks ago, he named Clemson football as his favorite.

Shortly thereafter, he announced that he would be committing on July 8th and the overarching thought from the recruiting world was that the Tigers were going to get a big-time commitment. Then the Alabama Crimson Tide stepped in.

Alexander, the top prospect from the state of Alabama, ended up choosing the Crimson Tide over the Tigers at his announcement ceremony Thursday afternoon.
