Alabama picked up another prospect in its 2019 recruiting class on Friday evening.
This one comes right out of Ole Miss’ backyard.
Brandon Turnage, a 4-star wide receiver/safety, pledged his commitment to the Crimson Tide via Twitter.
Turnage is a 6-foot-1, 180-pound athlete from Oxford, Miss. (Lafayette High School). He is rated as the nation’s No. 9 athlete and is the No. 6 prospect in the state of Mississippi, according to the 247Sports Composite.
Turnage also happens to be a Top 100 player in the entire country. He has additional offers from Ole Miss, Georgia, LSU and Michigan — among others.
He’s had an offer from Alabama since June, and has visited Tuscaloosa at least twice since then.
Alabama has the nation’s No. 2 class for the 2019 cycle. It already has six commits.
Turnage is the Tide’s second 2019 commit in as many days. On Thursday, Brendan Gant made his pledge.
Here’s what Turnage posted on Twitter Friday:
