Alabama continues to work on its 2021 recruiting class, but the coaching staff is also still looking to get a jump start on the 2022 group as well. With that being said, tight end Elijah Brown landed an offer from the Crimson Tide on Monday.
The three-star prospect out of Wayne High School in Dayton (Ohio) took to Twitter to announce the news:

As mentioned previously, Brown is rated as a three-star prospect, according to 247Sports. He’s also rated as the No. 20 tight end and No. 13 player from the state of Ohio.
At 6-foot-5, 230 pounds, the Wayne High School standout brings size, length and athleticism to the tight end position. And with Alabama is expected to lose multiple players at that spot (Miller Forristall and Carl Tucker) following this season, the staff is looking to fill that void for the future.
In addition to his offer from the Crimson Tide, Brown also holds offers from programs such as Michigan State, Georgia Tech, Arizona State and Akron. Expect his recruiting to take off in the near future, however, as teams start to get a look at the impressive athlete.
