Four-star OL Javion Cohen announces commitment to Alabama
Javion Cohen, four-star offensive tackle from Central High School in Phenix City, Alabama, gave a private commitment to the University of Alabama on Sunday. He hoped to wait until December 18 to announce his decision.
However, reports surfaced on Wednesday saying Auburn dropped Cohen from its commitment list. Cohen released a screenshot with a conversation with Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn to discredit the info and was forced to go ahead and announce his commitment.
"I actually committed to Alabama on Sunday," Cohen said. "I told Auburn on Sunday I was de-committing. I then committed to Alabama.
“They (Alabama) had a different approach to the game than anyone else. They actually cared about me as a person by showing me the many different things that would help me grow as a young man. It’s Alabama where the standard is a national championship, not just a bowl game."
How does Cohen feel about his commitment to the Crimson Tide?
"It’s feels amazing, "he said "There isn’t a better school in America. I can’t be prouder to be playing for this University.”
Cohen took down the screen.shot of his conversation on Sunday with Coach Malzahn after a ton of replies. He feels slighted by the former school he was committed to for so long, but will focus on his future with the Crimson Tide.
"Alabama was happy, " Cohen said. "They told me they are glad that I’m coming and it would be the greatest decision of my life."
"Auburn wasn't happy. I’ve lost respect for them. They didn’t have to make it look like I didn’t have an option or put my commitment out like that. That was dirty."
