One Alabama early signee that has received lofty comparisons is 2023 four-star linebacker Yhonzae Pierre. The Alabama native has been compared to Alabama edge rusher Will Anderson Jr.
Though Anderson is unlikely return to the Crimson Tide next season, Pierre signed his national letter of intent to Alabama on Wednesday.
Pierre is the No. 59 overall recruit in the country on the 247Sports composite. He is listed as 6 feet, 4 inches and 220 pounds.
247Sports’ Josh Petagna compared Pierre to New England Patriots edge rusher Josh Uche. His ability to be a standup linebacker in Alabama’s defense will give him a great opportunity to create value. The coaching staff seems really high on Pierre and rightfully so. This is a huge addition to the class for the Tide.
