Meet the 2021 Alabama Crimson Tide Football Commitments
After a slow start, the Alabama Crimson Tide's 2021 class has picked up momentum. Four players committed to Alabama between April 17 and May 15.
Get to know all the guys who plan on making Tuscaloosa their new home below.
BONE: Who's next to commit?
Kaine Williams
Committed: May 15, 2020
More on Williams
Williams chose Alabama over fellow finalists LSU and Texas A&M making him the latest in a long line of elite prospects who has chosen to snub the home state Tigers for the Crimson Tide.
The defensive back's weight increased to roughly 205 pounds when he made his decision. With his athleticism it's possible Alabama gives him a look at linebacker, especially if he can continue to put on more weight.

Jacorey Brooks
Committed: May 8, 2020
More on Brooks
Brooks seemed poised to become the latest win for Florida coach Dan Mullen. Alabama receivers DeVonta Smith and Jaylen Waddle might hear their names in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft, but Brooks appears to have the talent needed to step in and replace those guys right away.

Agiye Hall
Committed: April 18, 2020
More on Hall
Hall chose the Crimson Tide over Georgia and Arizona State among other contenders. It's possible some schools didn't press for his commitment since Hall attended three different high schools in the four months prior to his decision.
That much movement raises red flags, and he's had some issues with consistency. Still, he profiles as a four-star prospect who could make a major climb in the rankings with a strong senior season.

Anquin Barnes
Committed: April 17, 2020
More on Barnes
Barnes chose Alabama over Auburn, Georgia and Florida. He planned on taking all five official visits before the COVID-19 pandemic shut down in-person recruitment, and it sounds like that remains the plan now.
Still, Barnes seems confident in his choice so there's little reason to panic unless something significant changes.

Deontae Lawson
Committed: December 27, 2019
More on Barnes
It's unclear whether Alabama prefers to play Lawson inside or outside at the next level. He recorded 134 tackles, including four for loss, in 2019. He did all that while also carrying the ball enough to score 10 rushing touchdowns.
So wherever he ends up on the field, he should be productive.
Despite his current ranking of 241 nationally, BamaInsider recruiting analyst Andrew Bone believes Lawson deserves a spot in the Rivals100 rankings.
