The Alabama Crimson Tide reeled in another blue-chip quarterback recruit Tuesday night when longtime Kentucky Wildcats pledge Mac Jones flipped his commitment to an SEC foe.
Fresh off an appearance at Elite 11 national finals in Redondo Beach, California, the 4-star Florida prospect announced a change of plans on Twitter:
Please respect my decision! I am 100% committed to the University Of Alabama! #RollTide #SEC pic.twitter.com/h92gsYhnBk

Jones, a marquee member of Kentucky's 2017 class since last summer, expressed gratitude for the Wildcats interest but ultimately couldn't pass up a chance to compete in Tuscaloosa.
